Parole Agents Arrest Nearly 580 Sex Offender Parolees


California Parolee Apprehension Teams (CPAT) Coordinate with 140 Partner Agencies to Track, Search, Cyber-monitor and Capture Sex Offenders throughout the state.

Beginning July of 2010 specialized teams comprised of CPAT agents, more than 140 local, state and federal agencies and the Division of Adult Parole Operations agents coordinated their efforts to track, ensure compliance and arrest sex offender parolees who violated their parole.
"Operation Safe Playground" will run through January of 2011 and has proven to be an extremely effective exercise in capturing sex offender absconders and ensuring parolees are complying with their special conditions of parole.

Since July, parole agents and their law enforcement partners have conducted 1,276 parole and probation searches statewide, and arrested 579 sex offenders, 233 of whom were parolees-at-large.

This week alone – as part of California’s Special Enforcement Week – CPAT and its partner agencies have arrested nearly 350 sex offenders for the following offenses or violations:

Parolees-at-large 233
Child pornography 9
Pornography 87
Possession of drugs 46
Possession of weapons 36
Possession of contraband 131

Congratulations on such a successful operation and keeping communities safe by returning offenders that pose a risk to the community back to custody!
