November 1, 2023 - Tulare County Sheriff's Office officials report that Deputies make sure registered sex offenders are in compliance year-round. However, on Halloween, they concentrate on neighborhoods where children could be out trick or treating.

To keep kids safe on Halloween, 20 Tulare County Sheriff’s detectives and Tulare County District Attorney investigators knocked on doors at 96 homes yesterday, as part of Operation Trick or Treat, a county-wide sex offender compliance detail.

“We reminded them that they should keep their porch lights off tonight and not give out any candy to youngsters trick or treating in their neighborhoods,” Sergeant Sara Olmos said. “As part of their sex offender registration requirements, they are to discourage foot traffic to their homes and not have any Halloween decorations.”

No arrests were made.
