From WRCB Channel 3…

The Tennessee Department of Correction (TDOC) has launched “Operation Blackout”, an annual statewide operation to ensure sex offenders on TDOC’s caseload are complying with the conditions of their supervision, as well as special conditions put in place surrounding the Halloween holiday.

Each October, TDOC Community Supervision adds an extra layer of protection for the children in our communities and an extra layer of accountability for sex offenders under the state’s supervision.

A specific set of rules must be followed by all registered sex offenders this month: no Halloween decorations, no attending Halloween/fall functions (i.e., Harvest Festivals, etc.), no distributing candy, and keeping the porch light turned off on Halloween night.

TDOC Probation/Parole will be performing unannounced home checks all month leading up to Halloween and will be out in neighborhoods on the 31st conducting compliance checks, as well.

If you see a TDOC offender at a Halloween event or with holiday de´cor, please call 1-844-TDC-FIND and report it.
