OffenderWatch® Certificates of Excellence

Honoring Excellence in SOR Management

Every day, convicted sex offenders must register with their local law enforcement agency—typically the sheriff’s office or or city police department. What many people may not realize is what happens after the offender registers. It takes extensive time and resources to manage each jurisdiction's sex offender registry in order to ensure offenders are adhering to the law and will not victimize another person. With more than 4,000 agencies and 15,000 users in the OffenderWatch® network, our team carefully selects the law enforcement agency personnel who best embody the letter and spirit of the law to receive OffenderWatch® National Certificates of Excellence.
