The Polk County Sheriff’s Office Special Victims Unit, along with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, conducted a Halloween sexual offender/predator compliance initiative during the month of October, 2021. The operation was aimed at ensuring compliance with Florida’s registration laws for convicted sex offenders and sex predators (FSS 775.21 & 943.0435) within Polk County*. Detectives charged 16 suspects with failure to comply with sex offender registrations laws and/or violation of probation.

There are 1,255 Sexual Offenders and 142 sexual predators registered in Polk County.
Great job, officers! You spent huge piles of time and money to arrest hundreds of registrants who re-offended! My congrat…
Wait, I think I got that wrong. Ok, 16 registrants out of 1,397 re-offended. That may only be 1%, but it is huge news! Shocking at how many re-offended during Halloween no doubt by luring innocent vic…
Hmm, no, I seem to have gotten that wrong. Let’s see, it was not 16 people who re-offended, it was 16 people out of 1,397 who got violated on the hundreds of rules they had to follow 24 hours per day.
Wow, I feel so safe knowing that those overpaid officers on overtime saved society from technical violations. That is definitely the way to get people to rebuild their lives!
Wow!! So many man-hours for so little gain.
FTR a Playstation online account. FTR two vehicles. Really?! And they call this news worthy articles. This is the best Polk County Sheriff’s Dept can do to protect the public?
FTR happens 12 months out of the 12 months of each year. Someone everyday a FTR is happening somewhere in the country.
This article makes it sound like because of Polk’s county initiative it prevented so many new acts of sexual abuse of minors because of this “round up”.
So Sad!!!!!
Another job well done by Elmer Fudd and the rest of Loony Tunes. Does Elmer know how to arrest anyone else besides you didn’t tell us the color of your gloves? What a dufus!!
OMG!!
Of course, it’s Flori-Duh!! 🙄
And of course, it’s Polk County!! 🙄
It seems from so many news reports of registrant oppression that Polk is the worst county in the worst State! 🤮
This is exactly why you do NOT open your door when cops come to your house.
Just think, sheriff Judd takes pride in arresting these people. How many had worked hard to rebuild their lives, get a job, get a place to live, maybe a car, a partner and friend, but thanks to the ever vigilant sheriff all that is gone. Now they will be back to square one, depressed, angry resentful, and hopeless. Sheriff Judd made them a greater risk to the community because now they have nothing to live for. Great job sheriff. And remember, not one of these people reoffended.
This sheriff has a new YouTube video posted almost every day. He likes holding up their pictures for the camera. I wonder how many people he arrests actually are convicted.
Holy hell one of these guys only crime was possession of a medicine you can only get with a prescription. want to bet he had a prescription provided by a doctor? What can a Registered Citizen in FL who is on probation not receive treatment for a medical condition without a Probation Officers permission?????
Here is a quote from a viewer of one of the sheriff’s you tube videos. This is they quality of persons that like him.
“I want Grady to be the attorney general of the united states’ of amreca”
And yes, America was spelt this way in the post.
This sheriff must have a lot of free time on his hands to be able to make so many videos.
Not to be outdone, in “Operation Candyman”, California’s Stanislaus County law enforcement harrassed 33 Registrants and arrested more than a third of them!! 😲

Felon in possession of candy?? 🤔
Possession with intent to distribute? 🤨
Halloween: no candy, decorations, costume
Christmas: no dressing up as Santa, Elf, Rudolf, The Grinch, and no Christmas lights.
July: no dressing up as Uncle Sam and no handing out firecrackers.
Thankgsiving: thank God we can still eat a Turkey, stuffing, yams and pie
None of these restrictions have any rational connection except with stupidly.
Daam a candy bar, I dont know how we are surviving through this crap, its insane I can’t believe law enforcement agencies have gotten away with this for so long.
Me personally I’m over it, I’m done with trying be apart of Society when your placed on the registry at such a young age its easy to disengage from Society because I was never from it .
Good luck
Thanks, now the Florida is a safer place. BS total harassment, I feel sad for all those folks arrested just to fuel the fire.
