Who is National Alert Registry (NAR)?
Since Megan's law was passed it is required by law for all sexual
offenders to register with their local police department. Unfortunately,
budgetary restraints make it almost impossible for this vital information
to be passed out to each parent in every community. National Alert
Registry (NAR) was designed to bring this information directly to you. By
conducting a zip code search we will be able to notify you if a sexual
offender has moved into your community as well as provide you with a
complete profile of the sexual offender.
Are all sex offenders required to register with their local police
department?
Sex offenders who have been released from custody since Megan's Law went
into effect on October 31, 1994, are required to register with their local
police department. Also, sex offenders who were on parole or probation on
the effective date of the law, as well as offenders who have been found to
be repetitive and compulsive by experts and the courts - regardless of the
date of sentence - are required to register. Some registrants must verify
their addresses annually; others must verify their addresses every 90
days.
How does the National Alert Registry (NAR) notification process work?
NAR performs an exact address search as we receive new data from your
locality. The profile will include any information that your state makes
available. This normally includes name, address and criminal offense, but
may also include a photo and demographic profile, when available.
What should I do if I receive notification that a sex offender has been
released in my area?
Always use the information responsibly. Talk to you children and reinforce
safety precautions about staying away from strangers. Ask your children to
tell you where they will be at all times. Tell your children where the sex
offender lives, what he or she looks like and what to do if they encounter
or are approached by that person. Explain to your children the importance
of staying away from the location where the sex offender lives and to
treat them as a stranger. If you believe a crime is being committed
contact your local law enforcement agency immediately.
What if I move?
Since your membership only requires an e-mail address for you to be
advised of new listings, you will just need to make sure that you update
your "account Information" in the event the move necessitates your
obtaining a new e-mail address.
Can I have additional addresses searched?
Absolutely. Currently the only way to add an additional addresses is to
contact Customer Support. Use the contact information for National Alert
Registry listed below.
Is National Alert Registry (NAR) alone going to
eliminate sex crimes and sexually motivated abductions?
No, National Alert Registry (NAR) alone is not going to eliminate sex
crimes or sexually motivated abductions. Reducing the prevalence of sex
crimes can be effectively accomplished by being aware of any sexual
offenders living in your area, harsher criminal sentencing, effective
sex-offender treatment programs and abduction prevention educational
programs.
