The show interviews April Cole and Paul Brennan; both are supervisors in the sex offender unit of the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency(CSOSA), a federal criminal justice agency in Washington, D.C.

On Halloween, nine teams of Community Supervision Officers (known elsewhere as parole and probation agents) and officers from Washington D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department (a total of 32 officers) will visit the homes of sex offenders with “any” history of sexual contact with children.  This is the third year that  CSOSA and MPD have conducted joint patrols on Halloween.

Child sex offenders have been told by letter and in-person to stay home on Halloween and not engage in “any” Halloween a activities.

Please note that CSOSA and MPD do thousands of joint patrols of homes of high-risk offenders throughout the year. The agencies  also exchange information/intelligence daily.

For additional information, contact Leonard Sipes at 240-882-8274.

13 joint police and parole and probation-sex offender unit teams will operate from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. or later if necessary

Offenders were provided with a letter during routine contacts stating that they could not decorate or participate in Halloween activities. They were instructed to be home between 6:00 and 11:00 p.m.

The teams will make random visits of other categories of sex offenders. There are 584 sex offenders under CSOSA’s supervision. Approximately 100 are supervised via GPS or global positioning systems. Their GPS tracks will be compared to reported crimes on Halloween
