Mason County Sheriff's Office: Mason County Sex Offender Registry
Mason County Sheriff Wayne Youell announce today that through a no-cost-to-the-county grant secured from the Illinois Attorney General’s Office, the Mason County Sheriff’s Office joins over 30 other leading Illinois sheriff’s offices in making available a citizen-friendly, easy to use, Mason County sex offender registry. This program will allow our citizens to search for the presence of sex offenders and predators who are registered in proximity of their homes, place of work, schools, and day cares.
This information is being provided to the citizens in a form they can easily use anytime day or night via the nation’s leading sex offender registration and notification solution, OffenderWatch™.
Citizens may enter any address of interest to them, and see a map and listing of offenders within a user defined radius (of .25 miles out to 2 miles) of that address. Then, they may register the address to be continuously monitored by the Mason County Sheriff’s Office. Through this program, the Mason County Sheriff’s Office will send to them an email alerting them if an offender or predator should register an address within their specified radius of their registered address.
Citizens may confidentially register as many addresses as they like, at no cost to them. The purpose of the program is to lessen the anxiety of citizens by proactively alerting them should an offender/predator move within proximity to them, and to enhance the security and safety of Mason County’s citizens. The program also enables the Mason County Sheriff’s Office to verify that the offender addresses do not violate any safety buffers that may be implemented around protected institutions in the county, such as schools, day cares, and parks.
Citizens can access the OffenderWatch™ registry 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week at the Mason County Sheriff’s Office’s OffenderWatch® web page. The OffenderWatch webpage can be accessed from a link on the Mason County Sheriff’s office website at http://www.masoncountyillinoissheriff.com or at the direct website address, http://www.sheriffalerts.com/il/mason
