Area residents can utilize the Connecticut Sex Offender Registry online to search for specific cities, neighborhoods or streets to see a written list - with photos - of sex offenders that may reside in places children are planning to trick-or-treat on Halloween.

According to the Connecticut Department of Emergency Services & Public Protection, they “update information regularly, to try to assure that it is complete and accurate. However, this information can change quickly and information on registered sex offenders is often provided by the registered sex offender themselves as required by law.

This information may not have been verified by local law enforcement officials at the time it is posted on the website. You are cautioned that the information provided on this site is information of record and may not reflect the current residence, status, or other information regarding a registered sex offender.”

Access to the Connecticut Sex Offender Registry can be found online here.
