Keeping Halloween Safe

J & J Security, Deltona's local security company, will be hosting our first annual Halloween Bash on Monday October 31, 2011 from 5pm – 9pm.We are located at 2922 Howland Blvd in Deltona. The event will include a bounce house provided by
Jump-N-Bounce as well as candy and games. It will be a family-friendly, safe alternative or supplement to trick or treating.

 

J & J Security will also have a booth at Deltona’s Halloween Spooktacular and will be handing out candy and safety tips.

 Halloween Safety Tips

  1. Feed your kids a filling meal before they go trick or treating. They’ll be less likely to sneak candy before they bring it home for you to check.

  2. CHECK THE CANDY! Make sure the candy is sealed in factory packaging and does not contain ingredients your child is allergic to. Throw out homemade treats.

  3. Check the FDLE’s website (http://offender.fdle.state.fl.us/) to locate sexual offenders in your area. Make sure your children stay away from these houses.

  4. Make sure your child’s costume is safe. It should be fireproof or treated with fire retardant, and eye holes should be large enough to enable good peripheral vision.

  5. It’s best to have two or more adults supervising your group of trick or treaters.

  6. If your children are going trick or treating without you (in a supervised group), make sure you know their route.

  7. If your child is attending an event at their school, church, etc. make sure you know the address. If your child is attending a party at a friend’s house, make sure that you’ve met the parents and have their address and phone number.

  8. It’s usually dark when trick or treaters are making their rounds. It’s a good idea to dress your child up in a brightly colored costume and for them to wear glow in the dark necklaces. Also, make sure your kids know how to cross a street properly.

  9. Teach your children to scream and run to a safe place if they are asked by a stranger to enter their home or vehicle.

  10. Attend J&J Security’s Annual Halloween Bash. It will be a fun, safe place to take your kids this Halloween.
