Why The National Alert Registry?
 
Why not just go through the FBI or a state law enforcement agency?
 
Good question.  Going through the FBI's Crimes Against Children Unit: National Sex Offenders Registry will wade you through a morass of links to state agencies who, sometimes, do not have up to date information.
 
Using the National Alert Registry will give you a simple to use interface where you can put in your zip code and search.
 
Using the FBI's links does not give you updates when new offenders move into your neighborhood, but the National Alert Registry does.
 
Using the online databases provided by the FBI and the states requires that you constantly check the site to see if anything new has been added.
 
How do you know? For you to know if something has been added, you must keep a list of the previous offenders to know how many have been registered.  Then, and only then, can you be sure you have the right data.
 
With the National Alert Registry you have a simple "one time" registration for a year's subscription to receive updates.  If you don't find the service to your liking you can terminate it or not renew.
 
The National Alert Registry offers a full year of coverage and supplies you with the following information:
 
  • Monthly email updates.  A RED ALERT update is sent to you when a registered offender moves into your area.
  • Unlimited searches
  • Unlimited and instant access to our database of over 300,000 U.S. sex offenders.
  • Includes names, maps, current addresses of sex offenders
  • Description of crime for all area sex offenders
  • Color photos available for select states
  • Ability to check any address, including schools and daycare centers
  • You can also search the entire country by name






 

Background

The U.S. Congress passed three laws that require States to keep track of sex offenders; the Wetterling Registration Act, the Lynchner Tracking and Identification Act and Megan’s Law. On March 5, 2003, The Supreme Court ruled that information about potential predators may be posted on the Internet.


The Problem

The information is available and you have the right to see it. But the problem is that access is very difficult. You have to know the name of the individual you are looking for and in many States you must go to your police station and complete a request form. In some States there is a fee and limit to view only two names


The Solution - National Alert Registry

Now in the privacy of your home you can view the same information displayed on a map of your neighborhood. The free service provides the number of predators in your neighborhood. You can then choose to purchase the full service, which includes details about those sexual offenders, including specific addresses. The full service search is based on your exact address. In addition you receive a full year of free updates automatically broadcasting new sex offenders that move in your neighborhood.
