Sex Offender Tracking
With as many as 100,000 registered sex offenders in the United States
whose whereabouts are unknown, expanding the ability to link these offenders
to open and unresolved missing and exploited child cases across broad
time and geographic parameters is of great potential benefit.
The primary
goal of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children's
Sex Offender Tracking Team is to support federal, state, and local
law enforcement by providing assistance in identifying and locating noncompliant/fugitive
registered sex offenders.
