WHAT DO I DO IF I DON’T FIND SOMEONE ON THE SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY?

Sex Offender Registries are extremely helpful resources to keep a check on your surroundings and places you are traveling to. But sometimes they don’t list everyone who has been considered sexual offender. Registries only include people who have been convicted of sex offenses — but might not include all people who have been convicted of sex offenses. Depending on the conviction and the laws of the specific state, tribe, territory, or district, not all offenders have to register, registration lengths vary, and not every name on a registry will be made public. Keep in mind that surveys show that most people don’t report sexual assault, and many perpetrators are never arrested or convicted. Because of this, it’s important to use general precautions and prevention practices in your community.




If you searched for a specific individual on the sex offender registry and didn’t find the person or need more information, you can call your local police department to find out if the individual is registered and not posted or is under the supervision and what the conviction was so you can better protect yourself, your family or your neighborhood. The police may be able to guide you to more information and local resources. Below are some precautions you can take.

To avoid the risks and mishappenings to children and other people you should learn about the warning signs of sexually abusive behaviors in adults. 

Consider creating a family safety plan. This is an opportunity to have everyone in the family on the same page and begin important conversations about boundaries, healthy interactions, and how to talk about changing expectations as children grow older.

 You may also want to look at the prevention practices of organizations working with your child or teen. Part of the commitment of these organizations should be to keep children and youth safe while in their care. If your child participates in organized sports, a summer camp, a youth group, or an afterschool program, take the time to ask about their safety policies.
