Kent Halloween Comes With A Price Tag

INTRO: Kent State Police Department brings outside forces to help patrol the streets,

but it costs the department heavily.

 

 

 

 

 

TAG: Lt. Prusha says the Halloween festivities are not a city sponsored event, just an event they know will occur.

 

 

Lt. Jim Prusha (above) released a letter to local residents, listing tips for the evening of Halloween:

– Cross Streets at crosswalks/look before entering the roadway. (We experience too many pedestrian accidents)

– Lock your cars and keep valuables out of sight.

– Keep your valuables with you. Don’t leave purses, cell phones, keys, etc. unattended.

– Don’t drink too much. (Almost all people arrested are intoxicated and many people victimized are also intoxicated)

– Plan ahead. How are you going to get home?

– Lock your house even if you are home.

– Only allow people on your property if you know them and will be accountable for their actions.

– Obey the law. (Open container, Jaywalking, Unlawful Noise, and all other laws will be in full effect.)
