Operation Boo 2011

In conjunction with the Regional Parole Units, The GPS Units  and their PIOs in DAPO’s 4 regions, CDCR’s Communications Office will coordinate state-wide media coverage of Operation Boo. Special attention will be given to coordination of tours for embedded reporters in the major population centers of the state.  New media Ride-along forms are required to be submitted on a 1st come, 1st served basis for representatives who wish to be embedded with the crews for that night’s media tours (Please see Oct. 17 media advisory).   The tours will be designed to include the Transient Sex-Offender Curfew Sites (where available) or transient sex-offender GPS tracking compliance checks.  The tour will also include traditional compliance checks. Media will also be encouraged to report advanced stories about the parent empowerment package during the week leading into Halloween.
