Fort Knox Safety officers urge trick-or-treaters to stay in groups or with family members, wear some kind of reflective gear on your costume or bags, carry a cell phone for quick communication and utilize the crosswalks and sidewalks where possible when haunting the streets.
They also said to always look both ways before crossing roads; don’t assume a motorist sees you.
