Three Days till Halloween!

Please help keep it safe this year. At dusk and then at dark, expect to see costumed little ones out and about on their hunt for treats! Be especially aware when driving, that the quest for sweets often drives otherwise rational kids into a frenzy, often running from one house to
another. Later in the evening, be on the look out for the older crowd at our adult venues. There are always a very small percentage of ghouls and marauding types that appear to cause trouble. Be on the look out for them and help yourself by hanging out with friends and staying sober. This year, the City has created several alternative venues for people to attend and celebrate, from the Castro, to South of Market to a free event at Lot A near the Giant’s Ball Park.

Halloween falls on a Friday this year and it is not the only game in town. Expect traffic delays on Friday as an assembly of several hundred people are expected to march at 10 AM from Ferry Park Plaza to the Immigration building on Sansome Street. Later in the evening expect traffic delays when Critical Mass hits the streets.

      Halloween Safety Tips:

      1. Costumes should fit correctly so kids won't trip on them. Wear light-colored costumes so you can be seen easily at night.

      2. Kids should not try to Trick or Treat by themselves. They should go with an adult and a group of friends.

      3. Map out where you and your friends will be going. Visit only the well-lighted houses.

      4. Trick or Treat while it is still light out; always bring a
      flashlight, it may get dark. Wear a reflective costume or stickers.

      5. Pick well-lighted streets. Walk on the sidewalks. Do not take shortcuts or alleys!

      6. Only accept candy at a person's front door. Do not go inside of a house or into someone's car.

      7. Have a back-up plan in case you get separated from your group. Carry a cell phone or a walkie-talkie or money for a pay phone, and the number of a trusted adult.

      8. Don't eat any candy until you get home. Have an adult check to make sure there are no tricks in your treats! If there is any suspicious candy, contact your local police station.

      the apartment where numerous subjects were found. Inquiries and searches were made with three shell casings found inside the bathroom. A continued search resulted in locating a duffle bag under a bed
      containing a Smith and Wesson .38 revolver, bulletproof vest and additional rounds of ammunition. Ongoing investigation produced a suspect directly related to the evidence. Concurrent to the investigation, a male victim walked into the Central Police Station complaining of a gunshot wound to his leg.
