E-Alerts will notify citizens when a dangerous sex offender moves into community

A new law took effect on March 15 that will allow New York residents who sign up with the Division of Criminal Justice Services to receive automatic e-mail notifications when a registered sex offender moves into his or her neighborhood.

Under the old law, concerned residents had to continually check the sex offender registry for updates if they wanted to keep their families safe. Now, residents can request e-mail updates for up to three counties or ZIP codes.

Through this new law, called E-Alert, those signing up for the service may receive free e-mail updates about Level 2 and Level 3 sex offenders who reside in their communities.

For more information on E-Alert and the state sex offender registry, visit criminaljustice.state.ny.us.
