Stay Safe This Halloween with These Important Tips
As Halloween approaches, it’s a time for joy, costumes, and candy, but it’s also a good time to stay aware and prioritize safety. Not everyone participates in Halloween activities, and some individuals in our community, such as registered sexual offenders, are required to follow strict rules to help keep our neighborhoods safe.
In accordance with the law, sexual offenders are required to keep their house lights off and refrain from answering their doors to trick-or-treaters on Halloween night. This precaution is in place to ensure the safety of families and children enjoying the holiday.
The DeSoto County Sheriff’s Office app offers an added layer of safety with its interactive map feature, allowing you to locate registered sexual offenders’ addresses in our area. By using the app, you can plan safer trick-or-treat routes and stay informed.
Stay safe and download the DeSoto County Sheriff’s Office app today for peace of mind this Halloween! 🎃 #HalloweenSafety #CommunityAwareness
