Kids Safe Night Out

The Sheriff's Alternative to Halloween

Unfortunately in today's climate, trick or treating at a strangers house may not be the safest course of action. Although there are many, many homes in our community who give out candy and goodies to children on Halloween and have no ill intent whatsoever, there may be a handful of those who give out goodies with ulterior motives.

The Sheriff began in 2006 offering kids a safe alternative to Halloween. Sheriff Alan Jones says, " I have children of my own and I wanted to ensure that they could go somewhere, play games, get candy, and be safe. I wanted the community to have that as well."

With the success of the first Kids Safe Night Out in 2006, we knew we had to continue this.

Sheriff Alan Jones and volunteers from his office and the community, including businesses and individuals, made 2007's event even more successful.

There were at least 2000 to 3000 people who came through this event in a 3 hour period.

Thank you again for helping us to keep children in our county safe.
