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, October 28 to Sunday, October 30, 2022.
This year’s activity has continued the downward trend in attendance and criminal activity that we have seen in previous years. The breakdown of arrests and citations are below.
Two arrests were for outstanding warrants and the remaining three were for DUI.
