🎃Staying Safe This Halloween & Beyond🎃
By Anna Morris on 1st October 2025

As the nights draw in and Halloween approaches, it’s important to think not only about festive fun but also about safety. Darker evenings, busy streets, and seasonal changes can all bring added risks – both to people and property. At JAKK Security & Facilities Management Ltd, your safety is our priority. Here are our top tips for keeping secure this Halloween and throughout the winter months.

 

🏠 Property Security: Protect Your Home & Business

Keep it well-lit – Thieves often take advantage of darker nights. Use outdoor lighting or motion sensors to deter unwanted visitors.

Lock up properly – Double-check that all windows, doors, and gates are locked before going out or heading to bed.

Secure valuables – Don’t leave bikes, tools, or decorations outside overnight; these can be easy targets.

Alarm systems & CCTV – A monitored alarm or CCTV system provides an extra layer of protection and peace of mind.

 

 

🧛 Personal Safety on Dark Nights

Be visible – If you’re out trick-or-treating, walking home from work, or simply enjoying an evening stroll, wear reflective clothing or carry a torch.

Stay alert – Keep phones and valuables out of sight. Avoid distractions such as headphones when walking in poorly lit areas.

Travel in groups – There’s safety in numbers. Encourage children to go trick-or-treating with friends or family rather than alone.

Plan your route – Stick to well-lit streets and avoid shortcuts through alleys or unlit areas.

 

 

❄️ Preparing for Winter

 

Halloween marks the start of the darker, colder months. As winter sets in:

Check security regularly – Weather can damage locks, gates, and lighting. Make sure everything is in good working order.

Be mindful of icy conditions – Slips and trips increase in winter; use grit and lighting around pathways.

Stay warm & safe indoors – Ensure heating systems are checked and working efficiently.
