CONWAY, SC (WBTW) – The Horry County Sheriff’s Office is asking parents to take a look at the sex offender registry online before sending their kids door to door this Halloween.
The sheriff’s office says there are currently 530 active registered sex offenders in Horry County alone.
People can view the registry online by visiting sheriff.horrycounty.org and clicking on the Sex Offender Registry link.

The alerts are in real-time and sent out via e-mail as soon as a new offender has registered with the Horry County Sheriff’s Office.
