Boise families are preparing for Halloween with various events and trick-or-treating opportunities. Boise Police are reminding residents to prioritize safety, encouraging drivers to use headlights and remain alert in residential areas. Pedestrians should cross streets at intersections and avoid obstructive masks. Children are advised to stick to well-lit areas and only approach homes with lights on. For those consuming alcohol, police urge planning for a safe ride home, reinforcing that “Driving under the influence is always the wrong choice,” according to Boise Police Cpl. Kyle Wills. The annual Halloween celebration on Harrison Boulevard will close streets from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. for pedestrian safety. Officers will be present to ensure a secure environment for trick-or-treaters. This proactive approach aims to facilitate a fun and safe Halloween for the community.
