Halloween festivities are just around the corner and we want you to have a fun and safe time! Whether if you\u2019re staying on Commonwealth Ave. or heading into the city, remember these tips and tricks to help you stay safe through the night.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Always check for and throw out any suspicious candy you receive from trick-or-treating. Remember to look for sharp or unusual objects mixed inside the candy.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Never leave your alcohol unattended and don’t accept drinks from someone you don’t know.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Don\u2019t drink and drive. Don\u2019t text and drive. Simple as that.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. As every holiday, there is a higher chance of intoxicated drivers being on the road. Therefore, make sure to look both ways before crossing the street. If you\u2019re driving, stay alert of nearby vehicles driving odd.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Living in Boston, a commuter city, intoxicated pedestrians can be a hazard as well. Pay attention to your surroundings and those close to you.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. All drivers should be on special alert while going through residential neighborhoods. Look for children close to your vehicle, especially while backing up!\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. Avoid walking alone. Stick with a trusted friend or group.<\/span><\/li>\n
  8. For extra safety, share your location to your friends.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  9. Don\u2019t want to walk in the dark? Carry a flashlight to help you see your surroundings.<\/span><\/li>\n
  10. In case of an emergency, dial 911 or call the BU Police at <\/span>(617) 353-2121<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
