Medford Township Police Department released safety guidelines for residents planning to participate in trick-or-treating this Halloween.
The Department encourages:
– Avoiding direct contact with trick-or-treaters.
– Giving out treats outdoors, if possible.
– Setting up a station with individually bagged treats for kids to take.
– Washing hands before handling treats.
– Wearing a mask.
For those Medford households who don’t wish to participate in trick-or-treating, consider coordinating with neighbors to develop a system, such as signs or on/off porch lights, for distinguishing houses participating in trick-or-treating from those that do not wish to participate, the Department suggests.Â
