The Idaho Sex Offender Registry provides citizens with one of the better sites in the country with clearly identified Violent Sexual Predators, an exceptional mapping function and flexible searches. Idaho offers a comprehensive guide to their sex offender registry in a downloadable format and other helpful resources. Email notification and electronic identity information would take this site from excellent to exceptional.
Most important, profiles are clearly labeled with the Violent Sexual Predator designation where applicable. A large color photo, standard physical description and offense information is included. Idaho statute, as in all states, determines the details posted in the registry profiles. Work and school addresses, distinguishing marks and vehicle information could be added to provide a more complete picture of each offender.
Idaho offers four main searches: registrant name, city, county, zip code, or by a map within a specified radius of an address. Search adults or juveniles within each type. A quick search is available for Violent Sexual Predators, non-compliant offenders and quarterly non-compliant offenders.
The results list includes a photo, name (link to profile), birth date, address, city, county, zip, status, map link and Violent Sexual Predator designation.
The map key includes both a radius key with corresponding colored circles on the map and an icon key for your search location, adult sex offenders found within the area, and juvenile offenders in the area.
Legal information and a thorough guide is available, safety and prevention resources are not.
Idaho has revamped their registry and offers one of the most helpful home pages found in the country, a model for other states. Violent Sexual Predators, defined as posing the greatest risk to the community, are presented in a separate, searchable listing. Make general search choices easily with the tabs supported by plain language explanations. FAQs are found in the guide to the registry, a downloadable document referenced on the home page, and one of the most informative documents found on any state’s registry.
Clear and accessible contact information is provided for the public. Questions may be asked by phone, email or mail.
Idaho offers one of the best search and mapping functions available. Additional profile details, safety and prevention information, and electronic identity would significantly improve this site. Easy to use and informative, Idaho provides a useful registry for its residents.
