Family Watch Dog Website Tracks Sexual Predators Across the U.S

A website called The Family Watch Dog, created by the U.S. National Sex Offenders Registry, is arming parents, neighbors and families with online access to information about released sexual predators including their identities and home addresses. The free service offers citizens the opportunity to safeguard their families by arming them with the ability to track sexual lawbreakers within their communities.

A simple search that involves plugging in an address and zip code pinpoints the locations of known sexual predators in the vicinity. The Family Watchdog website utilizes a mapping tool that provides comprehensive information on each individual criminal including a photograph, home address, details of their convictions and a map of the area surrounding the perpetrator’s home. The website’s purpose is to empower citizens with easily accessed public information that they can use to keep their families safe.

Law enforcement officials hope that the website evolves into a community-police effort in keeping track of offenders and reporting those perpetrators who are not conforming to state laws and the rules of their probation. The Family Watch Dog is intuitive and simple to navigate, making it easy for the community and police to keep track of offenders at all times.

Family Watch Dog also catalogs information on identity theft and cyber-related sexual offenses. It provides forums that keep communities updated on recent changes in criminal activity.
Family Watchdog was launched in 2005. Their stated mission is to build awareness of nearby threats by providing accessible and accurate sex offender location information. The website has a bilingual safety portal on both the online and mobile versions and is updated daily.
