On Monday, Oct. 31 from 5:30 p.m. to 10 p.m., the county will require more than 80 registered and non-registered sex offenders on probation to attend a program at the Westchester County Courthouse in White Plains.

The annual Anti-Sexual Abuse Victim Impact Program is run by the county's Department of Probation and is meant to keep children and families safe on Halloween, officials said.

"Our top priority in Westchester County will always be the safety of our children, and I want parents and families to know their kids will be safe and protected when they go out trick-or-treating on Halloween, or on any other night of the year," County Executive George Latimer said.
