Dacula 2017 Halloween Sex Offender Safety Map

DACULA, GA — Before kids go out trick or treating on Halloween, fall is a good time to take inventory of who is living in your neighborhood.

The attached map lists the known addresses of registered sex offenders, according to the Georgia Sex Offender Registry.

Registered sex offenders are prohibited from passing out candy on Halloween. They may not appear in a Halloween costume or as another child-centered holiday character, such as Santa or the Easter Bunny, in public. In the past, Georgia's pardons and paroles board has set up events that sex offender parolees were required to attend during peak Halloween hours.

Pins on the map represent addresses of offenders convicted of sex crimes. Roll your cursor over the pins, and you will see more information pop up, including the registered sex offender’s name, address, date of conviction and offenses.

You may want to avoid trick or treating at these houses and apartments on Halloween, or merely be aware of who’s living in your neighborhood during the rest of the year.
