Parole and Probation Agents Ensure no Tricks for Halloween

Some Sex Offenders to be Closely Monitored on Holiday

NO
CANDY
Towson, MD (October 28, 2015) –Division of Parole and Probation agents will be closely monitoring certain sex offenders throughout the state on Halloween, visiting their homes and directing them not to give candy to children.

Agents from the Collaborative Offender Management Enforced Treatment (COMET) team will concentrate their efforts the afternoon and evening of Saturday, October 31, 2015. Within that time, COMET agents will travel to the homes of those offenders for whom the intervention is determined to be most appropriate such as those whose victims were minors.

A letter and an unadorned, black and white “No Candy” sign have been provided to all offenders under COMET supervision. The agents will work closely with law enforcement during the initiative.

Sex offenders should remain at home on Halloween from 5 to 10 p.m., during which time agents will conduct home visits. Offenders must keep their porch lights off and post the “No Candy” sign on their door. They are not to answer their doors to trick-or-treaters.
