All 50 States Participate in National Sex Offender Public Registry

The Department of Justice recently announced the addition of South Dakota and Oregon to the online National Sex Offender Public Registry, a cooperative effort between state agencies with public sexual offender databases and the federal government. The NSOPR Website, which provides instant access to public sex offender data from across the nation with a single field search, is now complete, with all fifty states participating. With over 500,000 registered sex offenders in the United States, the NSOPR is without a doubt an essential instrument in protecting our nation’s children. “The full completion of the structure of the National Sex Offender Public Registry is very good news for parents and law enforcement officers nationwide,” said Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. “The constant effort to safeguard our children from sex offenders is never finished, but today’s announcement marks a clear accomplishment on the side of protection.”
