Wichita Hutchinson Plus, KS, October 22, 2026 —
The Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office is urging residents to keep safety in mind during Halloween and is directing them to online resources about registered offenders in the county.
The office cited more than 1,800 registered sex offenders, 1,100 violent offenders and 800 drug offenders in Sedgwick County. It directed residents to its website, where an interactive map allows users to view offender locations. The site also offers a way to sign up for neighborhood alerts.
The information provided by the Sheriff’s Office does not specify when the figures were compiled or whether people may be counted in more than one offender category. It also does not identify particular neighborhoods, describe specific Halloween incidents or detail any additional safety measures.
The office’s message connects its Halloween safety reminder with access to the map and alert service. No direct quotation from the Sheriff’s Office was provided, and the announcement does not state whether the figures reflect a recent change in the county’s offender population.
Residents seeking the map or neighborhood alerts are directed to the Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office website. The announcement does not provide a direct web address or further instructions for using either feature.
