Brookfield's Sex Offender Safety Map 2017

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

Brookfield, CT — There are eight sex offenders living in Brookfield as of October 2017, according to the Connecticut Sex Offender Registry. More than half of rape/sexual assault incidents happen within a mile of the victim’s home, according to the United States Department of Justice. About 75 percent of victims know their attacker, and 45 percent of victims are under 12 years old.

The Connecticut Department of Emergency Services & Public Protection maintains the registry and updates information regularly, but information can change quickly. Information is often provided by offenders themselves as required by law.

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.
