Stay in well-lit areas: Stick to familiar, well-lit streets and sidewalks.
Stay together: Children should trick-or-treat with a trusted adult or group.
Check the registry: Families can review Indiana’s Sex & Violent Offender Registry when planning their routes.

Before heading out, make sure you know when trick-or-treating is scheduled in your community.
