| Background
The U.S. Congress has passed several laws that require states to implement
sex offender and crimes against children registries: the Jacob Wetterling
Crimes Against Children and Sexually Violent Offender Registration Act,
the Pam Lychner Sexual Offender Tracking and Identification Act, and Megan's
Law. On March 5, 2003, the United States Supreme Court ruled that information
about potential predators may be publicly posted on the Internet.
The Problem
While the contents of state sex offender registries are public records
and you have the right to see them, access is often difficult. Often, you
must know the name of the individual for which you are looking and, in
many states, you must go to your local police station and complete an information
request form. In some states, there are fees and search limits. Many states
now maintain web sites, but these often have limited functionality and
there is no official nationwide government online registry.
The Solution - National Alert Registry
Now National Alert Registry aggregates all of the sex offender records
contained in the various state sex offender registries, providing a single
database with nationwide coverage. Using state-of-the-art mapping, database,
and e-mail notification technologies, National Alert Registry provides
a simple yet extremely powerful suite of products to help you and your
family be aware, be alert, and be safe!
