NEWS RELEASE
COLORADO STATE PATROL
*************************
Halloween is one week away and the Colorado State Patrol is delivering a special video message to parents and motorists to keep our trick-or-treaters out of the ‘Danger Zone.’ Not all of our troopers aspire to be like Maverick, a.k.a. Sgt. Kessler, but he feels the need, the need for a safe holiday and is happy to use a little humor to remind drivers of their responsibilities while behind the wheel.
Slowing down and scanning the road are good tips while driving through any neighborhood or busy downtown areas, but particularly important on a high pedestrian night filled with excited children that may or may not be practicing safety skills like using a crosswalk or crossing at an intersection. Parents also have a role to play by teaching their kids about being a safe pedestrian especially at times when they are tempted to ignore those rules, like when hanging out with friends.
This special video message will get released today at 4:30 p.m. on Colorado State Patrol’s social media pages. We hope Coloradoans watch and share this Halloween message to encourage our neighbors and friends to use safe practices while driving that keep our trick or treaters healthy and injury-free! Join us on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook.
