The Rockford Police Department is pleased to announce the purchase of OffenderWatch, the nation’s leading registered sex offender management and community notification tool. OffenderWatch is utilized by over 1000 law enforcement agencies in 39 states.

The citizens of Rockford are now able to view real-time information on all publishable offenders within a specific radius of the address you enter.

The best way to stay informed is by using the e-mail alert system. The e-mail alert system will send you an e-mail alert if a new offender registers an address within the specified radius of any address you register. There is no cost for this service and no limit to the number of addresses you can register. Your e-mail address and personal information are kept confidential. Tell neighbor and friends to register their home, school, day care, park, parents or children’s homes.

This amazing tool allows the citizens of Rockford and the Police Department to form a partnership to ensure all offenders obey the requirements of the sex offender registration act. Most importantly, this partnership will allow us all to provide the best possible protection for those who need it to the most, our children.
