Sex Offender Registry

I wanted to share this information sent from one of our Crime Watch Block Captains. Please remember that you cannot harass a registered offender. This tool is simply for education and awareness of who our neighbors are.


Hello Friends,
It's come to my attention that yet ANOTHER sex offender (this one a child molester) has moved into our city.
I feel a responsibility to remind you of the importance of registering for email updates of the Indiana Sex Offender Registry. This free notification tool will prompt an email to you in the event a sex offender moves or registers with a work address in your neighborhood. Just click on the link to register: http://mail.mapmuse.com/re1/signUp.php
You can set your own distance range of notification. Mine is at 3 miles, which covers all of Beech Grove.
Note, you can also inform your neighbors (who may not have email) by word of mouth, or by providing printed notification of an offender in your area. You cannot place such notification in their mailbox, (that's a no-no!) but you can print flyers of your notices and place them in the doors of your neighbors, etc. Please note that you CANNOT harass the registered sex offender.
Not trying to play vigilante here, just want to heighten awareness of what's happening in our city, and do my part to protect our children. Our fine police department is not solely responsible in protecting us/our kids.... we must do our part as well.
For a complete listing of offenders residing or working in the Grove, click here: http://www.insor.org/insasoweb/initAdvancedSearchForm.do
You will have to check the disclaimer, then click on the acknowledge check to enter the site. Use the City or Zip Code Search option and you'll see that there are 14+ within a 1 mile radius, 38+ within a 2 mile radius, and 97+ within 3 miles.
Please note that not ALL are child molesters. For crime descriptions and definitions, click here: http://www.in.gov/legislative/ic/code/title35/ar42/ch4.html
Please feel free to forward this information as you see fit.
Thanks!
Susan
