Is the Information Available from My Local Law Enforcement Agency Accurate?
It is estimated that the majority of California's registered sex offenders are in compliance with the registration requirement. However, the ZIP code listed for some offenders may not be up-to-date where sex offender registrants have failed to comply with California's registration laws.

Since Megan's Law data has been available, the public has helped law enforcement identify offenders who are not registered with the correct address. State agents from the California Department of Justice, Bureau of Investigation, work with local law enforcement to arrest sex offenders who do not comply with registration laws.
