Sex offenders who are on parole or probation will be in for a real scare Halloween night if they don’t report to law enforcement officials.
The Cameron County Sheriff’s Office, along with other area agencies, will be ensuring that those convicted of sex crimes report to undisclosed locations across the county where they’ll receive counseling while children enjoy the night’s sweet and spooky festivities.
“We do it to keep the kids safe,” Sheriff Omar Lucio said at a Tuesday press conference.
There are about 900 offenders who will be required to report in CameronCounty and the sheriff’s office is responsible for 300 of them, with municipal police departments managing the remainder. The offenders will remain off the streets between 5:30 p.m. and midnight.
