Safety At Home

Megan’s Law


As most people now know, there is a law requiring those convicted of sexual offenses to register with sheriff’s office of the county in which they reside. The intent is to keep us safe from future harm, especially to protect children from those convicted of sexual offenses against children.

Having 5 grandchildren now, our family is sensitive to this issue.

You can check with your local sheriff office for the location of offenders. There are also several good websites listing offenders by area of residence and some showing the offender’s location of employment as well. You can register with these websites to receive notices by email when an offender moves into the area.

Websites to visit to get more information and to locate offenders:
