Sex Offender Registry
Pursuant to KRS 17.580, the Kentucky State Police provides sex offender registration information to the public through this website. The intent of this site is to promote public safety and awareness by alerting possible victims of potential danger, not to punish or embarrass offenders.
Convicted sex offenders have always lived in our communities; only in recent years have laws been passed which have required these offenders to register with authorities.
Unfortunately, many convicted sex offenders do re-offend. There is an overriding public interest and need to ensure the safety of the public by providing information concerning registered offenders to the public. It is important to note that not all criminal offenses require registration with the Kentucky State Police, only those covered by statute.
Sex Offender Alert Notifications
The Kentucky State Police (KSP) Sex Offender Registry provides an essential alert notification service for parents, school personnel, daycare workers, and all citizens to help combat crime and protect children. By signing up for sex offender alerts, individuals can stay informed and take proactive measures to ensure safety in their communities.
To sign up for notifications, visit http://kspsor.state.ky.us. The process is simple and only requires an email address. Users can choose to receive email alerts based on specific zip codes or monitor the status of individual registrants. When a registered sex offender moves into a selected zip code area or when there is updated information about an offender, KSP will send an email notification. This email will direct the recipient to the KSP Sex Offender Registry website for additional details.
