Click on the appropriate button below to indicate
if you understand and accept the information contained on this entire page
and agree to abide by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania's General Assembly has determined
that public safety will be enhanced by making information about registered
sex offenders available to the public through the Internet. Knowledge
whether a person is a registered sex offender could be a significant
factor in protecting yourself, your family members, or persons in your
care from recidivist acts by registered sex offenders. Public access to
information about registered sex offenders is intended solely as a means
of public protection.
Pursuant to the provisions of Pennsylvania's
Megan's Law, 42 Pa.C.S. § 9791 et seq., the State Police has established
this web page to provide timely information to the public on registered
sex offenders who reside, attend school, are employed/carry on a vocation,
within this Commonwealth.
Pennsylvania's Megan's Law, 42 Pa.C.S. § 9799.1,
requires the State Police to create and maintain a registry of persons who
reside, work/carry on a vocation, or attend school in the Commonwealth and
who have either been convicted of, entered a plea of guilty to, or
adjudicated delinquent of certain sex
offenses in Pennsylvania or another jurisdiction. Additionally, the
Pennsylvania State Police is required to make certain information on
registered sex offenders available to the public through an Internet
website. The Pennsylvania State Police has established this website
according to the requirements of 42 Pa.C.S. § 9798.1.
