Columbia 2017 Halloween Sex Offender Safety Map

COLUMBIA, MD — Before the kids go out trick or treating on Halloween, it is a good time to take inventory of who is living in your neighborhood.

According to the Maryland Sex Offender Registry, there are 33 registered sex offenders who work or live in Columbia.

Pins on the map below represent the addresses of offenders convicted of violent and non-violent sex crimes in Columbia. Click on the pins for more information, including the offender’s name, address, age and conviction.

Details come from the registry, which is maintained by the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services. The map is not meant to discourage trick-or-treating, as there are restrictions in place for sex offenders on Halloween.
