micromanaged by the probabion officers Original Article Oct 30, 2:32 PM EST County requires sex offenders on probation to attend therapy LAKE HAVASU CITY, Ariz. (AP) -- Mohave County probation officials are requiring specialized sex offenders on probation to attend a sex offender treatment program on Halloween night. The move is meant to make parents and children feel safer during trick-or-treating. Doris Goodale, assistant chief probation officer for Mohave County, said about 800 registered sex offenders reside in Mohave County, which will monitor 67 offenders on probation - 15 in Lake Havasu City, 40 in Kingman and 12 in Bullhead City. Offenders will be transported home by probation officers after the counseling session. "Probation officers have the authority by the Arizona Supreme Court to direct probationers to therapeutic meetings," Goodale said. "We have the authority and the responsibility." The department prohibits offenders from displaying Halloween decorations and attracting trick-or-treaters to their homes, Goodale said. This is the first year the county will enforce this program, but Goodale said they would institute it in following years.
