With many young people and families returning to Trick or Treating on Halloween this Sunday, local Law Enforcement and Healthcare Workers remind people to be safe.
Chief Chris Graddy and Lt. Michael Tolan of the Harrison Police Department says during an interview on KHOZ's "Around the Table" program reminds motorist to be on the lookout for trick or treaters and to slow down more than normal while people walking through the neighborhoods should remember to wear reflective costumes and have flashlights handy, especially for those that will be trick or treating later in the evening.
Graddy and Tolan also reminds people to double check the treats once they arrive back home, thoughts echoed by Jennifer Ruit, a nurse from Cox Branson, during a feature story on Ozarks First.
“Inspect the candy. Anything that is open, wrappers that are partially open, wrappers that are damaged… all of that stuff needs to be thrown away. Anything that is homemade that didn’t come store-bought, if you don’t know specifically who gave it to you, you don’t know what’s in it. So then you need to discard those treats even though they may look fantastic. If you don’t know what’s in it, your best bet is to air on the side of caution and throw ’em out,” says Ruit.
The complete interview with Chris Graddy and Michael Tolan can be seen on the Around the Table Facebook Page while the full feature including the interview with Jennifer Ruit can be seen on the Ozarks First Website. Both links have information to Halloween Events going on in the region.
