*Halloween Safety Tips for Your Kids, Your Pets and You!*

·       Watch for kids trick-or-treating in your neighborhood! Slow down if
you’re driving, and keep an eye out for little ghosts and goblins.

·       If your children are trick-or-treating, make sure they do so in
trusted neighborhoods and with trusted neighbors, and that their costumes
are reflective, well-fitting, and if seasonally appropriate, warm.

·       Make sure your trick-or-treaters use sidewalks at all times, remind
them not to cut across yards or through alleyways, and always cross the
street at a crosswalk if possible.

·       If you have any doubts about the candy your kids get in their treat
bags, throw it out. Discard candy that is unwrapped or has loose wrappings,
has puncture holes, is homemade or not factory-wrapped.

·       Keep the treats away from your pets! Chocolate is deadly for dogs,
and sugar can cause other health issues. Hard candies can cause choking in
your pets, too.

·       If you’re expecting trick-or-treaters at your house, make sure your
pets are safe in another room, or crated, so they don’t run out when you
open the door, or get frightened by unexpected noises.

·       Keep your dog at home on Halloween. Costumes, masks and unfamiliar
surroundings and noises can frighten them and they may escape.

·       Make sure your dog is microchipped, and if you do take him or her
out, ensure they have a current pet ID tag and are leashed at all times.

·       Vandalism often increases during Halloween, so lock your car and
home, set your alarms if you have them, and keep your home well-lit.

*ONC Neighborhood Toolbox Offers Resources to Combat Online and E-mail
Scams*

A neighborhood association recently experienced an identity theft attempt,
with the attempt made using a fraudulent e-mail address that looked
legitimate. The Office of Neighborhood strongly encourages all
neighborhoods to make certain any requests for money or credit card
transactions are verified to be legitimate. We’ve worked with the
Albuquerque Police Department and the District Attorney’s Office to put
together ideas and suggestions for helping prevent identity theft and
e-mail scams for neighborhoods. Visit our online Toolbox at:
www.cabq.gov/office-of-neighborhood-coordination/neighborhood-toolbox and
learn how to protect yourself and your association!
