Trick or treaters are being reminded to think of safety as they head out in their costumes Friday night.
Police are reminding parents to ensure kids are easily visibel with things like reflective tape placed on costumes and treat bags.
"With tonight being Halloween, there are going to be extra kids out and about trick or treating," says London police Const. Ken Steeves.
"It's adviable that they wear something reflective and drivers be extra vigilant in ensuring the safety of those little ones."
Police say all children should walk, not run, door to door and cross at corners and in well-lit areas. Only go to homes that have the lights on.
Young children should be accompanied by an adult and older kids should go out in groups.
Treats should always be checked before they are eaten, look for packaging that looks like it has been tampered with, and if it looks suspicious, throw it away.
Steeves says extra patrols will be out on Halloween and on Saturday.
"We're going to have extra police presence tonight and tomorrow. We're also going to have the RIDE program to ensure the safety of drivers and other people on the roadway."
