OFFENDER CLASSIFICATION

TIER I Offender

A TIER I offender is subject to the registration/verification requirements annually for a period of 15 years following their initial registration. These offenders are not subject to neighborhood / community notification. The Sheriff for a maximum of $25.00 per year may collect a $25.00 fee per registration.

TIER III Offender

Offenders designated as a TIER III Offender are subject to registration/verification requirements every 90 days for life.

The Sheriff for a maximum of $100.00 per year may collect a $25.00 fee per registration.

TIER III Juvenile Offenders are now eligible to be placed on the public web site only if the Juvenile Court where the offender was classified orders that the juvenile be considered "Public Qualified". In addition, the Court must also determine if "Community Notification" is to be made on TIER III Juvenile Offenders.

Public mailings will occur with Sexual Offenders who are classified as TIER III. Public mailings are sent out in a radius of 1250 ft. from the address of the listed offender, unless the offender has a court ordered "STAY" of notification.

The difference between a child and a youth is their age.

• A child is 0-12 years of age
• A youth is 13-17 years of age
