Woodridge 2016 Halloween Sex Offender Safety Map

Before your kids go trick-or-treating this year, it might be a good idea to take inventory of who's living in your neighborhood.

Woodridge has 18 registered sex offenders listed on the Illinois Sex Offender Registry, 15 of whom are classified as sexual predators.

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

Pins on the map represent addresses of offenders convicted of sex crimes. Click on the pins to see the full names and addresses of the offenders.

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.
