Trick-or-treaters will be out in full force this week. Please drive slowly, stay alert, and watch for children crossing streets. Kids are excited and may dart between parked cars or cross unexpectedly. Let's keep our communities safe so everyone can enjoy a fun Halloween! Let's keep our kiddos safe!
