Smyrna-Vinings 2015 Halloween Sex Offender Safety Map

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

Smyrna-Vinings has more than 39 registered sex offenders listed on the Georgia Sex Offender Registry, none of whom are classified as sexual predators.

Registered sex offenders are placed under house arrest or required to report to their parole officers during the hours which children typically go trick-or-treating. Those under house arrest cannot decorate their homes, have outside lights on, or participate in Halloween activities, the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles says.

Pins on the map represent addresses of offenders convicted of sex crimes. Roll your cursor over the pins, and you will see more information pop up, including the registered sex offender’s name, address, date of birth, and convictions.

You may want to avoid trick or treating at these houses and apartments on Halloween, or merely be aware of who’s living in your neighborhood during the rest of the year.
