Maryland Sex Offender Movement Alert Express System
A new state service allows the public to request automatic telephone notification when a registered sex offender moves into a community. The new hot line coincides with provisions in a new state law that mandates increased registration, prolonged parole, more frequent reporting to parole officers, submission of DNA samples and automatic notification of all schools (private as well as public) in the county where the offender resides.
To get a notification call when sex offenders move nearby:
- Call 1-866-559-8017
- Enter your phone number and selected ZIP code(s). You may register multiple contact phone numbers and zip codes.
When state officials receive notice that a registered sex offender is moving into that area, you will receive a notification call.
Website listings are also available.
The Maryland state site includes a photograph as well as name, date of birth, age, address, address change date, charge, category of offense, and status (e.g., compliant, noncompliant with registration laws). It is located at www.dpscs.state.md.us/onlineservs/sor.
The Montgomery County Sex Offender Registry site is updated daily, although photographs are not posted. The website is reached through www.montgomerycountymd.gov by selecting “Departments”, “Police” and “Sex Offender Registry.” The public may also sign up for information from the county by e-mail at this site.
Montgomery County Police is the identified agency with which sex offenders register in the County. The Family Crimes Division, Sex Offender Registry Unit, may be reached at 240/773-5445.
