LVMPD would like to remind sex offenders, who are required to register, that they must verify their address with law enforcement according to the tier assigned to them.

• Tier 3 offenders are required to check in quarterly
• Tier 2 offenders are required to check in bi-annually
• Tier 1 offenders are required to check in annually

The public has access to Offender Watch, a website and mobile app which provides access to the addresses of registered sex offenders in the area. This can be a great tool for parents to identify homes they may want their children to avoid.
