Sex Offenders Monitored on Halloween

Convicted sex offenders will be on increased monitoring tonight as children go from door to door in some neighborhoods trick or treating.

According to a press release issued by the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles convicted offenders will be under curfew tonight or will be required to report to a specified location.

The curfews will be in place from dusk until dawn, and parole officers will do compliance sweeps during the evening hours in many parts of the state.

Residence searches will also be done to make sure sex offenders on parole have their outside lights turned off, don’t have outdoor Halloween decorations and aren’t answering the door except for anyone but law enforcement.

In some parts of the state, sex offenders will be told to report to a specific location during trick-or-treating hours.
