FORT MADISON - Tis the season of black cats, bats, goblins and scary spooks…It’s Halloween. We will soon see all that goes bump in the night on Tuesday, October 30 as all the little beggars will be going door-to-door for their treasures and treats.

The Fort Madison Police Department along with the Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau asks that all people drive in a safe and defensive manner and please watch out for the little beggars. They most likely will be excited as they collect their candy and will not watch out for you, the driver.

During this holiday time Law Enforcement Officers throughout the entire State of Iowa will be out enforcing Iowa’s seat belt, drinking and texting laws, as well as all other traffic laws, in order to ensure a safe driving holiday.

The Fort Madison Police Department wishes everyone a safe and happy Halloween.
