Doylestown 2016 Halloween Sex Offender Safety Map

With the Halloween season upon us, it's a good time to take inventory of the safety of your neighborhood before your kids head out to trick-or-treat.

There are 12 registered sex offenders living in Doylestown, according to the Pennsylvania Megan's Law database.

Markers on the map below indicate addresses of local offenders convicted of sex crimes. Seven of them are "Type 3" offenders. Only the most severe sex offenders with the highest risk to commit another offense are designated as level 3 offenders, according to authorities.

Click on the markers to learn the name and address of the offender:

According to statistics from the United States Department of Justice, more than half of rape/sexual assault incidents happen within a mile of the victim’s home.

About 75 percent of victims know their attacker and 45 percent of victims are under 12-years-old.
Pennsylvania State Police maintain the registry and updates information regularly, but information can change quickly. Information is often provided by offenders themselves as required by law.

If you believe a registered sex offender, who is under Active Community Supervision according to the State Department of Corrections Sex Offender Registry, is participating in Halloween activities you can report the information to the SAFE tip phone hotline at 1-877-234-0085. That line is answered Monday through Friday between 7:45 AM and 4:30 PM.

These offenders are not wanted by police, and using this information to harass, discriminate against, or harm these individuals is against the law.
