Visitors dressed as police officers will be at doorsteps of selected residences in a northeast Macomb County community the evening of Oct. 31, and they won't expect candy.
The men and women will wear Chesterfield Township Police Department uniforms that aren't costumes. The local Patch news site explains the Halloween rounds:
The Chesterfield Township Police Department does an annual special detail on the holiday. During the evening, officers visit registered sex offenders' addresses in the township to ensure no offenders on probation or parole have their exterior lights on or are passing out candy. . . .
If an offender is violating the Halloween guidelines, police will order them to stop participating in the trick-or-treating and report them to their probation or parole supervisors the next day.
