Search for sex offenders by name, city, town, or address. A radial search shows the level 2 and 3 sex offenders residing within a specified radius of the address entered.
The best way to stay informed is to take advantage of the email notification system. Register an unlimited number of addresses within Rhode Island and receive an email notification when a new level 2 or 3 sex offender registers as residing within a mile radius. Registration for this service is confidential.
Except as provided by law, court order or other legal prohibitions, law enforcement may not direct where an offender does or does not reside, nor direct where an offender works or goes to school. Risk levels have been determined based largely on the potential to re-offend.
Individuals convicted of or who have committed sexual offending have always lived in our communities, but it was not until passage of the Sexual Offender Registration and Community Notification Act that law enforcement was formally notified of their residence. In many of these cases, law enforcement is now able to share information with you. However, abuse of this information to threaten, intimidate or harass registered offenders will not be tolerated and may be a crime. Further, such abuse could potentially end law enforcement’s ability to engage in community notifications.
