EYE ON SEX OFFENDERS AT HALLOWEEN

Under a Nassau initiative dubbed Operation Safe Sweets, officials from several county agencies said they would deploy seven teams of probation officers today and tomorrow to monitor the homes of some of the county's convicted sex offenders, who number about 300.  In Suffolk, officials said 70 special victims unit detectives would check on some of the county's 80 registered Level 3 sex offenders today and tomorrow.  Level 2 offenders, considered less dangerous, will be monitored by probation officers.
