to the official State of Wisconsin Sex Offender Registry Web site.

In 1997, the State of Wisconsin enacted the Sex Offender Registration and Community Notification Law. This law was created to monitor and track people convicted of sex crimes and to provide access to this information for police, victims and the general public. This site displays the current reported residence address of offenders who are required to register and who are in the community.

This Web site is designed to enhance public safety by making the information contained in the Sex Offender Registry easily accessible to the public. It will also serve to enhance public awareness about sexual violence in our communities and provide valuable information about the ways in which individuals and communities can protect themselves and those they love from acts of sexual violence. The hope is that this Web site may also, in some meaningful way, reduce future victimization and the suffering that accompanies it.

The public is encouraged to notify the Wisconsin Sex Offender Registry Program about registrant information on this Web site that may be incomplete or inaccurate, or information concerning the whereabouts of non-compliant registrants.
