JOINT BASE CHARLESTON, S.C. –
The 628th Security Forces Squadron annual Pumpkin Patrol is approaching fast. As in years before, squadron members will be conducting foot patrols in and around all base housing areas on Oct. 30 from 7 to 9 p.m.
In an effort to ensure all families are safe and secure while enjoying their trick-or-treating experience, keep the following safety tips in mind when planning for the evening.
· Trick-or-treat with friends and bring along a grown-up.
· Use make-up instead of a mask so that you can see.
· Make a map of your trick-or-treat route for your parents.
· Stay in your own neighborhood.
· Don't walk in the street. Stay on side walk.
· Show respect for other people and their property.
· Don't stop at dark houses.
· Check your treats with a parent before you eat them.
· Never go inside a stranger's house, no matter what.
· Do not confront anyone who may seem dangerous or hostile.
· If you encounter any problems, make contact with the Base Defense Operations Center at 963-3600.
Have a Happy Halloween.
