Safety Tips...
Children are particularly
vulnerable to sex offenders.
Open communication between
parents and children is
vital to family safety. If a
picture is available from
the Sheriff's website, show
it to your family. In
general terms, tell your
children that this person
has hurt someone before.
Explain to them that they
should stay away from this
individual. Avoid scary
details. The purpose behind
community notification is to
reduce the chance of future
victimization by better
informing the public.
Frequently Asked
Questions...
Q: Is it a matter of
time before the offender
commits another crime?
A: While there is no
way that anyone can
accurately predict the
future behavior of another
person, past behavior is in
indication of whether an
individual, or group, poses
a higher risk to the public.
Not all offenders will
commit another crime;
however, knowledge of a
potential risk should assist
you and your family in
avoiding situations that
allow for easy access to
victims.
Q: What do I tell my
children about known
offenders in our area?
A: DON'T accept a
ride from this person. DON'T
go into their home or yard.
Tell your parents if this
person offers you toys,
money or gifts.
