The Marshalltown Police Department shared on Facebook a list of important safety tips and tricks for trick or treating/beggar’s night.  Many of those nights in KFJB Communities will be happening tonight through Tuesday.  Marshalltown Police Chief Mike Tupper highlights a few safety tips for listeners.

Chief Tupper says youth should carry a light with them while running around.  This will help them see, and it will allow for cars to better see where the youth are.  The Chief suggests for parents to look over the haul of candy.

In my conversations with both Chief Tupper and Sheriff Phillips neither have ever seen candy laced with anything, but they both suggest to stay away from any home baked goods, unless you know and trust the individual.
