The hours have been set, the Fishers Chief of Police George Kehl has announced that youngsters throughout the city may Trick or Treat on Saturday, October 31st, 6:00pm-8:00pm.

Fishers Police remind parents of the usual Halloween safety rules in a news release:

Give and accept wrapped or packaged candy only.

·        Only go to houses that you know the owner. 

·        Have children bring treats home for adult inspection before they are eaten.

·        A parent or adult should accompany children when they are trick-or-treating.

·        Carry a flashlight.

·        Stay within your neighborhood; only visit homes you know.

·        Use make-up or face paint instead of masks.  If masks are used, make sure the child has good visibility.

·        Choose costumes that are flame retardant.

·        Wear light-colored clothing, short enough to prevent tripping.  Add reflective tape to dark colored costumes.

·        Watch for vehicle traffic and use caution when crossing the street.

Fishers Police officers plan to be patrolling the city’s neighborhoods on Halloween night.  If you notice anything suspicious, Chief Kehl encourages you to call 911 immediately.
