A program which notifies Floridians when sexual offenders and predators change their addresses has just turned two year old.
The program called the Florida Offender Alert System is operated through the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
The Florida Offender Alert System sends an e-mail alert to subscribers when a registered sexual offender or predator moves into a neighborhood or near any other location designated by the user, such as a school, workplace, daycare, or home. The system also enables citizens to receive alerts when a specific predator or offender reports a change in address; the e-mail notifications are usually sent within 24 to 48 hours of an address change to the state’s registry.
Since its March 2008 launch, approximately 600 people have been added each week and more than two million e-mails have been sent notifying citizens about address changes. There are currently more than 104,000 people signed up for the program.
The program is offered at no charge through FDLE’s Web Site HERE or from the Franklin County Sheriff’s Department web page HERE.
