Palatine 2017 Halloween Sex Offender Safety Map

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

This map includes 22 registered sex offenders in Palatine. It does not include two offenders who are noncompliant with the registry, an offender whose address is unknown, and three offenders who are currently incarcerated.

Pins on the map represent the addresses of offenders convicted of sex crimes. Click on the pins for more information, including the offender’s name, address, date of birth, convictions, and the age of the offender and victim at the time of the offense.

Registered sex offenders are prohibited from passing out candy on Halloween. They may not appear in public in a Halloween costume or as another child-centered holiday character, such as Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. Registered sex offenders, however, may wear a Halloween costume in their home, according to the Illinois Sex Offender Registry.

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.
