In Allen County, there are approximately 280 registered sex offenders, and the Sheriff’s Office wants the community to know where they reside so they can choose to avoid those houses when trick-or-treating.

 “We do the best we can in making sure sex offenders live where they tell us, so it is crucial that our citizens visit our website to see who the registered sex offenders are and where they are living,” says Sheriff Treglia. Citizens are encouraged to check any addresses where they or their family’s spend time. Sheriff Treglia says “The mapping and address feature found on the website pinpoints exactly where an offender lives.”
