OffenderWatch®
sex offender mapping and alerting service aids citizens in avoiding
dangerous homes
In Darke County, there are approximately 96 registered sex
offenders. With summer around the corner we encourage citizens to
review our website to see which of these offenders live around them.
The mapping and address feature found on the website pinpoints exactly
where an offender lives and citizens can even sign up for automatic
email alerts should an offender move close within any address they
register (radius is specified upon registration).
"The benefit of registering for this confidential e-mail alert service
allows us to monitor your important addresses for you, thereby keeping
you up to date of newly registered offenders and making it unnecessary
for you to have to check your important addresses daily or even weekly.
You can register any and all of the addresses where your children spend
a lot of time, for example friends, grandparents, or babysitters
addresses" says Sheriff Toby L Spencer. The alerts are in real-time and
sent out via e-mail as soon as a new offender has registered with the
Sheriff Spencer.
The website for the Darke County Sheriff's Office is
www.darkecountysheriff.org. Citizens should click on the link "locate
registered sex offenders" and follow the instructions to check their
neighborhood and sign up to receive e-mail alerts. Also be
sure to check out our safety tips with many topics to review helping
you and your family understand what you can do to help stay safe.
Sheriff Spencer encourages everyone to have a safe and fun
summer. Knowledge is power and knowing where the registered sex
offenders reside in your area can help you make the best choices for
safe and enjoyable Summer activities.
For further information, please call the Darke County Sheriff's Office
