We may be more than a month away from Halloween, but the Fishers Police Department is wasting no time in announcing Trick or Treat hours for the city.  On Sunday, October 31, 2021, the Fishers Halloween Trick or Treat hours will be 6:00pm to 8:00pm.

Police Chief Ed Gebhart shares the following tips with local residents, per a department news release:

·         Give and accept pre-packaged candy only. Homemade treats should not be handed out or consumed.

·         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 where the porch lights are on, indicating a home that is handing out treats.

·         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.

Police cars will be patrolling the neighborhoods to help ensure everyone’s safety.  If you see or find anything suspicious, please immediately call 911.
