Sacramento, CA...The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation’s Division of Adult Parole Operations – aided by law enforcement partners statewide – is preparing to conduct the 19th annual Halloween children’s safety project, “Operation Boo.” This year, it features CDCR’s online parent empowerment brochure. Beginning today, the media is invited to partner with CDCR in spreading the word about how parents and guardians can help keep kids safe by using this .... online resource. The Operation Boo Parent Patrol Online Guide gives suggestions for non-threatening ways to teach children how to spot and avoid potential sexual predators. The brochure also offers links to help parents pin point sex offender residences and avoid those homes while plotting their children’s trick-or-treat paths. The Tradition CDCR has been conducting and expanding the Operation Boo Project since 1994. Operation Boo is held throughout California on Halloween night. State-supervised sex offenders* are monitored closely to ensure that they don’t attempt to attract children to their homes. The special conditions of parole imposed on sex offenders for Halloween night include: o A 5 p.m.-to-5 a.m. curfew during which parolees must remain indoors; o No exterior lights may be on at their homes (to discourage children from approaching); o No offering of Halloween candy and no Halloween decorations; o Sex-offender parolees can open the door only to respond to law enforcement, such as parole agents checking compliance. *There are almost 92,000 sex offenders in California. CDCR is responsible for supervising about 10,395 or 11 percent of them. For more information, please visit: http://www.cdcr.ca.gov/Parole/Sex Offender_Facts/index.html Read More. |
