Sex Offender Notification - Okanogan County Sheriff's Office

Sex offenders have always lived our in communities; but it wasn't until the passage of the Community protection Act of 1990 (which mandates sex offender registration) that law enforcement even knew where they were living. This notification is not intended to increase fear; rather, it is our belief that an informed public is a safer public.
