Sheriff’s office downward trend in Halloween criminal activityISLA VISTA – The Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the community stakeholders, residents and allied agencies that assisted in the planning and logistics involved in this year’s Halloween operation.
This year’s operational period covered Friday. Oct. 28 to Sunday, Oct. 30.
This year’s activities have continued the downward trend in attendance and criminal activity that we have seen in previous years, sheriff’s officials said. The department made two arrests for outstanding warrants and the remaining three were for DUI.
