Sex Offender Watch: A Map of Geneva Homes to Keep on Your Radar This Halloween

Patch has created an interactive map to show you which homes to avoid on Halloween this year.

Patch is helping parents in Geneva keep their kids safe this Halloween by providing a map of the area's registered sex offenders.

In general, the laws center on sex offenders registering in person each year with the local police department. They must do so for a required 10-year registration period, unless they are separately required to register for life. Offenders are prohibited from living within 500 feet of a school, daycare center, youth center or other facility that caters to children younger than 18 years old.

How the Map Works


The map is interactive, meaning you can zoom in, zoom out, or move it around to see all the plotted points.

Floating your cursor over one of the markers will give you the sex offender's address. Clicking on the marker will give you the name of the offender and more information about the specific charge.
