Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Computer

  1. Step 1
     

    Keep your family, friends, neighbors and communities safe by knowing where registered sex offenders reside in your community.

    Learning about registered sex offenders is the law, your right and public information.

  2. Step 2
     

    Using Family Watchdog.us at http://www.familywatchdog.us/ you can search your particular neighborhood or any given address by entering location into a simple web form. The result generates a map which displays the neighborhood and community in which the offender resides.

    There's a key which explains what the points on the map mean. Based on the key and the desired information you want, click on a point on the map. FYI: If you entered your address, you house should display as a tiny little house.

  3. Step 3
     

    A pop up link displays relevant information about the offender: name, photo(if available) and criminal information.

  4. Step 4
     

    To check a particular person enter their name and address into a separate webform,. If they're registered as a sex offender their name, photo (if available) and criminal record displays.

Tips & Warnings
