The state of Florida now has a program that allows people to enter an address- say your home, office, or daycare center- and monitor whether a sex offender lives or works near that address. You can also set your account up to monitor a specific offender or predator. It is important that residents take the time to become aware of who is living or working near them or their children. Note that although the system says it will send a confirmation e-mail, it actually does not- but your address will be registered and you will receive notifications.
To actively search for predators in your zip code, go to the website and click on 'Offender Search'. Once the page loads, click on 'Offender Search' again. On the right hand side choose 'Offender Search' and then choose 'Standard'. Then put in your zip code. This will bring up the offenders in your zip code. You can also search by the town you live in. This is an accurate way to see the offenders living in your area.

My present and past clients can consistently rely on me to keep them updated on programs like this that will help to keep them safe. Whether it is the more pleasant task of informing my clients about the local golf clubs or the more serious job of letting them know where they can go to find out whether there is a drug lab or sex offender in their area, I am my clients' best resource for information on their neighborhood.
