North Las Vegas police host free Halloween event tonight
The North Las Vegas Police Department is hosting its 16th annual Safe Halloween event tonight.
Families are invited to celebrate from 5 to 7 p.m., at the Home Depot parking lot at 1275 W. Craig Road. The free event will feature live entertainment, vendor booths and trick-or-treating for children 12 and under.
Each year, the department partners with local businesses and community leaders to offer a safe place for families to celebrate Halloween. In 2015, over 10,000 children and adults attended the Safe Halloween event.
If parents choose to take their children on a traditional trick-or-treat, the department suggests the following tips to ensure a safe, fun-filled night:
- Children should always be accompanied by a responsible adult.
- Adults should hold children by the hand.
- Never enter a stranger’s home.
- Wear bright colored costumes.
- Check the candy before children eat it.
- Take a charged cellphone. In case of an emergency, dial 911.
