I recently spoke with a resident who was concerned about registered sex offenders living in the area. She has small children and wants to be aware if there are any in her neighborhood, but wasn't sure how to find out. I gathered information for her and realized this might be usuful to others as well.
The Wisconsin Department of Corrections Sex Offender Registry displays the current reported residence addresses of registered sex offenders who are in the community. You are able to search by name or zip code with this website.
Family Watchdog is a nationwide site that lists sex offenders by state. Entering a zip code will bring up an interactive map where people can click on locations and a photo of the offender will appear along with their convictions and criminal history.
MapSexOffenders.com does what it says and teams up with Google maps to show streets where sex offenders live along with pinpoints with detailed information.
