Halloween is nearly here. How do you keep your kids safe while trick or treating?

The city of Amsterdam came out with some tips on Wednesday.

Kids are encouraged to be accompanied by an adult at all times, and be alert to traffic around them.

Residents who want to be visited by trick-or-treaters are asked to keep their porch lights on.

Parents are reminded to report any suspicious treats that are given to their children.

Amsterdam Police will have extra patrols on duty the night of Halloween.
