Quitman County Sheriff's Office

Thank you for your vote and as Sheriff of Quitman County, I am looking forward to serving you in 2021. During the global COVID-19 crisis, its even more critical to get creative and keep physical health precautions top of mind. We put together some ideas for how you can celebrate a healthy Halloween this year. Ways To Safely Trick Or Treat: 1. Ensur... e everyone has a face covering and stays at least six feet away from others, including the person handing out candy. 2. Go out in small family member-only groups. 3. If your porch or driveway is big enough, put up a six-foot-long table so you can interact with kids from a safe distance. 4. Use a face shield in addition to wearing a face mask when handing out candy. 5. Leave candy on the doorstep in a bowl and put a sign up that encourages them to take a piece. Get creative with making a sign that says, Dont be a witch take only one bag of candy per child. 7. Hand out individually wrapped candy to prevent the spread of germs. Better yet, put candy in mini party favor bags and place one bag out at a time. Watch through the window or on your doorbell camera and, when its gone, replenish it.Read More
