Local law enforcement officers in the Rio Grande Valley want to remind parents and drivers to watch out for children during Halloween as trick-or-treaters get their costumes ready for Friday night.

Experts say make sure your costumes are bright and reflective so that drivers can see trick-or-treaters when they're out at night.

You can also try using face paint instead of masks to be able to see at all times.

Remember to always use a sidewalk or a crosswalk to get to your destination.

Carry glow sticks or a flashlight with you if you plan to be in a dark area.

Only visit houses that are well lit, and never go into a stranger's home or car for candy.

Never let your kids eat any candy that doesn't come with a wrapper.
