ALONG WITH THE TRICK-OR-TREATERS, STATE PAROLE AGENTS WILL BE ON THE STREETS TONIGHT, IN AN EFFORT TO KEEP PAROLED SEX OFFENDERS AWAY FROM KIDS. ON HALLOWEEN NIGHT, REGISTERED SEX OFFENDERS ARE UNDER TOUGHER THAN USUAL RESTRICTIONS TO PREVENT THEIR CONTACTING WITH CHILDREN ATTENDING HALLOWEEN PARTIES OR GOING DOOR-TO-DOOR IN SEARCH OF TREATS.

PAROLE AGENTS WITH THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS ARE CONTACTING LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES TO MAKE SURE OFFICERS ON PATROL KNOW ABOUT PAROLED SEX OFFENDERS IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS. THEY WILL ALSO MAKE THEIR OWN CHECKS ON SEX OFFENDER PAROLEES. A DEPARTMENT SPOKESMAN SAYS EVERY HALLOWEEN, ALL REGISTERED SEX OFFENDERS MUST REMAIN IN THEIR OWN HOMES BETWEEN 5 P.M. UNTIL 5 A.M. THEY CANNOT PUT OUT HALLOWEEN DECORATIONS, OFFER CANDY, OR TURN ON THEIR PORCH LIGHTS, AND ARE NOT ALLOWED TO OPEN THEIR DOOR EXCEPT FOR PAROLE OFFICERS OR OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS.
