AED Presentation from the FMCC Safety Committee
DCJS maintains the Sex Offender Registry and provides information to the public, law enforcement agencies, businesses and other entities about individuals required to register as sex offenders in New York State.
The agency’s responsibilities are outlined in the Sex Offender Registration Act, which is the law that details the registration and risk level process, obligations of individuals required to register and other legal requirements.
The type of information available to the public depends on an individual’s risk level, which is decided by a judge after a court hearing. Risk level also determines how the public can access information about individuals required to register.
