The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO) is partnering with Probation and Parole Services to make visits to the homes of sex offenders in Flagler County that have restrictions to ensure that those with provisions related to Halloween day are following all rules and regulations.

There are 29 registered sex offenders and probationers with special conditions living in Flagler County that have specific sanctions stating they cannot hand out candy, decorate for the holiday, or leave their porch light on during Halloween. These limitations are designed to protect children from potential threats from sex offenders or predators.

Deputies and probation officers will visit the homes of all 29 offenders with these sanctions on Halloween day to conduct a walkthrough of their residence and instruct them to not decorate their homes for Halloween, distribute candy, or otherwise participate in Halloween. These offenders must be in their homes by 4:30 p.m. on Halloween day and remain inside for the rest of the night.

“This Halloween, we want to ensure everyone enjoys some trick-or-treating fun,” Sheriff Rick Staly said. “But, the safety of our kids is something that we will always take extremely seriously. Our deputies, partnered with Probation and Parole Services, are going to visit every sex offender that has restrictions and make sure that they are all in compliance. If not, they will be brought to jail.”

Below is a list of the 29 offenders that will be visited on Halloween day. Included are their photographs, names, and addresses. The Sheriff’s Office urges you to avoid visiting these addresses during Halloween. You may also visit the Florida and National Sex Offender Database at http://offender.fdle.state.fl.us/offender/Search.jsp to check for sex offenders that may be living near you or in neighborhoods that you plan to visit on Halloween that may or may not have these restrictions so you can stay away from these homes too.
