Sandy Springs 2017 Halloween Sex Offender Safety Map

As little ghosts and goblins prepare for their big night of trick-or-treating, parents may want to arm themselves with information on which houses to avoid while going door-to-door in the Sandy Springs area.

To make it simple for parents across the state to protect their kids from dangers that may lurk in their neighborhoods or nearby, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation offers a handy, searchable database. That database contains the names, offenses and last known addresses of the state’s registered sexual offenders and predators.

The GBI notes that it serves as the central "repository" for the state's Violent Sexual Offender Registry. However, readers should note the GBI makes every effort to ensure that the information online and provided below is "accurate."

"As the information is provided by other agencies and entities and is continuously changing, the GBI makes no promise or any express or implied guarantee concerning the accuracy of this information." the state said.
