As Halloween approaches, law enforcement agencies throughout Central Illinois are emphasizing safety measures for the community. With the festive season just around the corner, the Danville Police Department is particularly focused on ensuring the safety of both pedestrians and drivers on the roads, especially the young trick-or-treaters.

The department advises parents to remind their children about the importance of road safety, encouraging them to be cautious when crossing streets and to always use designated crosswalks whenever possible. This simple practice can greatly enhance their safety during Halloween festivities.
