Sex offenders and the registry: What citizens and law enforcement officers need to know

Sex offenders and the registry:  What citizens and law enforcement officers need to know

With Halloween just a few short days away, Dr. Jones sat down with sex offender registry expert, Dr. Paul Grady, to discuss what law enforcement officers and citizens need to know.  Dr. Grady details some valuable resources citizens can use to enhance awareness of sex offenders in their respective areas.  He gives law enforcement officers insight into what to look for and some helpful tools they can use to supplement their investigations.  Dr. Grady discusses the different classifications of sex offenders, the protocol they must follow once they are listed on the registry, and how, if possible, they can be removed from the registry.  He also provides a list of websites the general public can access so that they can identify sex offenders by location.  As Halloween is fast approaching, it is vital that parents know where they are taking their kids, and more importantly, to whose doorstep they may be taking them to.
