Is there a sex
offender living next to you?
























|
The Purpose
This site serves as a
focal point in providing assistance to parents, children, schools, and the community in identification of potential
sex offenders in Southeast Nebraska and Northeast Kansas. Our goal is to raise public
awareness about ways to help prevent child abduction, molestation and
sexual exploitation.
The Sex
Offender Levels
Under the law, sex
offenders who reside in the community are classified by prosecutors in
one of three "tiers" based on the degree of risk they pose
to the public:
High
Risk (Tier 3)
Moderate Risk (Tier 2)
Low Risk (Tier 1).
All we can
show on this site are High Risk or Tier 3
sexual offenders which are at high risk to
offend again.
Click on the counties on the left to find out if
there are any sexual offenders living in your county.
For a better explanation
of the 3 sex offender levels and frequently asked questions click on the
FAQ's link.
The
information on the county links is taken from the Nebraska and Kansas
State Patrol websites.
Nebraska Statute
Nebraska State Statute 29-4002
declares that sex offenders present a high risk to commit repeat
offenses and that efforts of law enforcement agencies to protect
their communities, conduct investigations, and quickly apprehend sex
offenders are impaired by the lack of available information about
individuals who have pleaded guilty to or have been found guilty of
sex offenses and who live in their jurisdiction. Because of that,
the legislature determined that state policy should assist efforts
of local law enforcement agencies to protect their communities by
requiring sex offenders to register with local law enforcement
agencies as provided by the Sex Offender Registration Act.
This information is to be used to provide public notice and
information about a registrant so a community can develop
constructive plans to prepare themselves and their
family. Sex Offenders have "always" been in our
communities. The notification process will remove their
ability to act secretly. Sex offender registry information
shall not be used to retaliate against the registrants, their
families, or their employers in any way. Vandalism,
verbal or written threats of harm are illegal and will result in
arrest and prosecution.
Kansas
Statute
*note* criminals on the
Kansas Links may not be sex offenders but have committed a violent
crime that required registration.
The information contained in a
registration entry has been provided by the registrant. Neither the
Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) nor the sheriff’s office can
guarantee the accuracy of this information. It is common for
offenders to move and fail to notify the sheriff’s office in their
county of residence of that change. This information is updated
continuously, however, the KBI cannot guarantee accuracy from day to
day. As a result of the Kansas Supreme Court’s decision in
State v. Myers, 260 Kan. 669 (1996), this website contains
information only on offenders who committed their offenses on or
after April 14, 1994. Effective July 1, 2005, K.S.A. 22-4909
was amended to require prominent notice on this website as to
whether a registered offender is or is not a sex offender. Any
offender who by virtue of their registering offense meets the
definition of “sex offender”, “sexually violent predator” or
was convicted of criminal sexual conduct with a person less than 18
years of age, as set forth in K.S.A. 22-4902, shall be designated as
a “sex offender” on this website. Any person who uses
information obtained through this website to threaten, intimidate or
harass another, or who otherwise misuses the information may be
subject to criminal prosecution and/or civil liability.
Further information on any registered offender in this file can be
obtained from the sheriff’s office in the registrant’s county of
residence.
