AUSTIN (KXAN) — The Austin Police Department shared some tips today to keep your family safe during trick-or-treating Friday evening.

Austin police recommend you trick or treat in a group, remind your kids not to enter a stranger's home for candy, only stop at well-lit houses, and follow traffic signals.

APD also offered some tips on how you can keep your child safe from any potential dangers in their candy.
