Sex Offender Search

"The Dru Sjodin National Sex Offender Public Website, coordinated by the Department of Justice, is a cooperative effort between the state agencies hosting public sexual offender registries and the federal government. This web site is a search tool allowing a user to submit a single national query to obtain information about sex offenders through a number of search options:

By Name

By ZIP Code

By County (if provided by state)

By City/Town (if provided by state)

By State (one or multiple)

National

The criteria for searching are limited to what each individual state may provide. Also, because information is hosted by each state and not by the federal government, search results should be verified by the user in the state where the information is posted. Users are advised to log on to pertinent state web sites for further information and/or guidance, as appropriate."
