Missouri Sex Offender Registration

The Revised Statutes of Missouri, Chapter 589 Sections 400 to 425 and 43.650, RSMo, mandate that the Missouri State Highway Patrol shall maintain a sex offender database and a website on the Internet that is accessible to the public. Additional information and verification may be obtained from the Chief Law Enforcement Official (Sheriff) of the county where the sex offender resides. The website is intended to supplement and complement the sex offender registries maintained by the various counties.

What You Can Find on the Website

The information on the website refers only to persons who have been convicted of, found guilty of or plead guilty to committing or attempting to commit sexual offenses and may not reflect the entire criminal history of a particular individual. Offenders required to register for crimes of kidnapping, felonious restraint or child abuse may not be listed on this website.

Public Access

The Sex Offender Registry was created in response to the Missouri Legislature's resolution to facilitate public access to available information about persons registered as sexual offenders. The Missouri State Highway Patrol, Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division, has not considered or assessed the specific risk of re-offense with regard to any individual prior to his or her inclusion on this website and has made no determination that any individual included on the website is currently dangerous. Individuals included on the website are included solely by virtue of their conviction record and Missouri state law. The primary purpose of providing this information is to make the information easily available and accessible, not to warn about any specific individual.

It should be noted that maps of offenders may not show all offenders in a given area. This is because home, work, school, and temporary address information may not be adequate to map.
