With traditional in-person Halloween activities resuming this year, the Salinas Police Department encourages everyone on the road to be extra careful as more children are out walking the neighborhood and collecting candy.
As everyone participates in Halloween and Día de los Muertos celebrations, Salinas Police Department offers the following tips for families to be as safe as possible on Halloween night:
If you are heading to a local bar, restaurant or house party and plan to drink, bring the designated sober driver with you, use a ride-hailing service, or stay the night.
In an effort to keep trick-or-treaters and others in the Halloween spirit safe, Salinas Police Department will have additional officers on patrol looking for drivers suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.
Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
