Staff Report
Members of the Waycross Police Department will have an increased presence in neighborhoods Friday evening, October 31 as the city holds “trick-or-treat” night.
Beginning at 5 p.m., officers will be patrolling neighborhoods to help ensure a safe and enjoyable Halloween evening for everyone.
Police remind trick-ortreaters and those with them to stay in well-lit areas whenever possible and wear reflective clothing, reflective strips of tape on clothes or carry a flashlight.
Streets should be crossed at intersections rather than in the middle of blocks, and motorists should drive well below the speed limit with the presence of a greater number of pedestrians.
Those trick-or-treating in the neighborhoods around Memorial Stadium should use extra caution since activity will be increased with the Ware County-Wayne County football game which starts at 7:30 p.m.
In addition to neighborhood homes, trick-ortreaters can visit the municipal courtroom in the police department at 512 Oak Street that evening for goodies.
