MidHudson News is reporting that the Greene County Sheriff’s Office recently announced it has joined the nationwide OffenderWatch sex offender registry network. The program makes it possible to collaborate on investigations and to share critical information involving registered sex offenders with more than 4,000 other law enforcement agencies across the country. County residents can also use the sheriff’s website to search for sex offenders residing in their neighborhood and subscribe to receive email alerts from the sheriff’s office. County Sheriff Peter Kusminsky said, “OffenderWatch builds a history of the data we have on file, and this facilitates registry staff, investigators and others working together. So, our deputies can be more proactive in offender management and keeping the community aware.” OffenderWatch has its own free app, for both Android and iPhone smartphone devices. After downloading, residents will be able to see registered sex offenders located near them or their family members. They will also receive free alerts when a registered sex offender moves into their neighborhood. Read more at MidHudsonNews [dot] com.
