Tracking Sex Offenders On-Line
Track: Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice
Author(s): Jared Erickson

Recent state and federal laws provided a unique opportunity for the Pierce County Sheriff's Department to educate and inform the public concerning sex offenders by using the Internet. The Registered Sex/Kidnapping Offender Search site (SO) is a Web application that allows the public to search their neighborhood for registered sex offenders. The Sex Offender Verification (SOV) Web application is used by the Pierce County Sheriff 's Department to verify the addresses of convicted sex offenders and to track the progress of this process with a suite of management reports. These Web applications use Esri's MapObjects and ArcIMS and Macromedia's ColdFusion.
