Read Desert MESSENGER ONLINE @ DesertMessengerOnline.com Stay up to date with sex offenders in area Congress enacted Megan's Law in 1996. It made sex-offender reg- istration information public and created guidelines for community notifi cation. Quartzsite Police Department is- sues notifi cations pursuant to ARS 13-3825, the Community Notifi ca- tion of Sex Offender Law. Notifi ca- tion must be made when certain sex offenders are released from the Arizona State Prison, accepted under an Interstate Compact or released from the county jail back into the community. The Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) has established a website according to the require- ments of A.R.S. 13-3827. DPS is responsible for maintaining the site and annually verifying the address- es of all registered sex offenders. The purpose of the Arizona sex offender information website is to provide information to the public concerning the location of sex of- fenders within Arizona. The site is NOT intended to supplant the com- munity notifi cation process, but rather, it allows the criminal justice community to promote public awareness concerning the poten- tial threat that sex offenders pose to Arizona citizens. An informed public is a safer public!
