Halloween may be more than a month away, but Fishers Police have decided to get an early start, providing guidance for local families on the upcoming event.

Trick or Treat hours in Fishers for Monday, October 31, 2022, will be 6:00pm to 8:00pm.

Police Chief Ed Gebhart offers the following safety tips for Halloween.

 — 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 Halloween night.  If you see or find anything suspicious, police want you to immediately call 911.

Boo Bash has become an annual tradition in Fishers, although weather has been an issue in some years. Let’s hope for good weather in 2022.  For more information on Boo Bash, use this link.
