August 2, 2024 – Stanislaus County Sheriff's Office officials report that earlier last month, their dedicated Special Victims Unit conducted an operation during the Stanislaus County Fair to safeguard every attendee and ensure a secure environment for our children. Undercover units were strategically positioned throughout the fair, and our team conducted rigorous compliance checks with registered sex offenders across the county.

Over the span of 10 days our efforts led to ten individuals were arrested for violating of conditions. An additional arrest was particularly concerning—a suspect was caught in an undercover sting, attempting to meet a 14-year-old girl at the fair for illicit activities.

Operations like these highlight the ongoing threats to our children and why it is so important to be proactive in our efforts. We're committed to continuing our vigilance and ensuring that our community remains safe.
