On Halloween, police ask that parents ensure children's safety
Placeholder Image
Spooks and princesses, superheroes and cartoon characters will appear all over Bulloch County Wednesday evening as the official “trick or treating” Halloween event gets underway. Statesboro, Brooklet and Portal police will all have extra patrols out, and Bulloch County sheriff’s deputies will cruise rural areas as children in costume roam neighborhoods in search of sweet treats from 6 to 8 p.m. Statesboro Police Community Relations Officer Justin Samples asks drivers to “Please use extra caution while driving in residential areas and be alert for children and parents that may be walking along the sides of the road or crossing the roadway.” High visibility is important, Samples said.
