In order to have a safe and fun Halloween, the Village of River Forest has set official trick-or-treating hours from 3 PM – 7 PM on Tuesday, October 31. Residents are asked to try their best to participate within these hours.
Additional Trick-or-Treating Safety Tips from the Village of River Forest:
-Make sure your costume is visible to vehicles and others.
-Instead of a candle to light a pumpkin, use a small flashlight or a liquid light stick that glows in the dark.
-Purchase only flame retardant or flame proof costumes and masks.
-Be sure costumes fit properly to prevent tripping or falling and wear masks that allow full vision.
-Do not go out alone.
-Only approach homes that are well lit and only approach the front door.
-Stay on sidewalks and obey traffic signs/signals.
-Carry a flashlight
-Adults should check their child’s candy before they eat it.
Have a safe and fun Halloween!
River Forest ID Bracelet Program
The River Forest Police Department is now proud to offer a new service for River Forest residents. Mirrored from a similar program started by the Oak Park Police Department in the summer of 2017, RFPD is now providing free, personalized bracelets to residents with disabilities, medical conditions, or other special needs.
The bracelets are intended to give officers a means of quickly locating necessary information to help these residents in emergencies, while maintaining sensitivity and confidentiality of personal data. Additional bracelets without the personalized attachment are being offered to all residents to show support for the Village and all of its residents. To obtain bracelets, please Contact Officer Glen Czernik via email or at 708-714-3543 for more information
