(From the Joplin Police Department)

Halloween Safety!

We welcome trick-or-treaters to come the Police Department today until 5pm for candy! We want everyone to be safe today, walking in groups and watching for traffic. Motorists should be aware of little creatures of all kinds out and about. We discourage impaired driving and will have officers looking for impaired drivers, so plan ahead.

We will be also be conducting sex offender compliance and Halloween law verification; between the hours of 5PM and 10:30PM tonight. This operation is conducted every Halloween, and is designed to ensure registered sex offenders are in compliance with the law. They have to avoid ALL Halloween related contact with children.

Joplin Police will have signs available for any registered offender that needs one.

Please call 417-623-3131 for more information.
