Offender Watch
Home > Sheriff >> Offender Watch Letter
Welcome!
The Shasta County Sheriff’s Office has taken the lead in providing you the use of Offender Watch, a new technology and innovative approach that will help you guard and protect your family and children from sexual predators and offenders. I am asking you to be involved because I believe an informed & involved citizenry makes for a safer community for all of us.
In order to help you maintain awareness of sex offenders living in your neighborhood, we have added a Sex Offender Registry to our website. This registry will allow you to enter any local address and obtain a list of all registered Shasta County sex offenders living within a one-mile radius of that address, within the boundaries of Shasta County. The registry can also provide information about a particular sex offender registered in Shasta County.
We encourage you to take advantage of the free e-mail notification. When a sex offender registers with the Shasta County Sheriff's Office, you will be alerted if the offender's address is:
- In Shasta County, and
- Within one mile of the address you have entered on your subscription.
The Shasta County Sheriff's Office maintains a Sex Offender Registry as a public service tool. Individuals listed on this registry have been convicted of a sexual offense that requires them to register annually with law enforcement. The registry is designed to increase community safety and awareness in order to guard our families and children from sexual predators and offenders.
This information is meant to educate you about offenders in Shasta County and is not made available for you to take action against any individual. Any action against an offender, which is determined to be a violation of law, will subject the violator to arrest and prosecution. Please report all information on offenders directly to our office. In an emergency situation, call 911; for non-emergencies, please call (530) 245-6540.
Myself, and the men and women of the Shasta County Sheriff’s Office, are here for you and the community.
Sincerely,
Tom Bosenko
Sheriff
