Find Sexual Predators In Your Neighborhood

How to make sure your neighborhood is safe

Every parent wants their child to be safe from sexual predators and offenders, especially in their own neighborhoods.

If you have suspicions about someone in your neighborhood or are moving to a new area, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement provides an online service to identify sexual predators and offenders in your area. The online form allows you to search for sexual predators or offenders by specifying a county, city, zip code, and/or pattern for last name.

Sexual Predator or Offender:
What's the difference?

Sexual predators and offenders are in violation of similar offenses, but there are several key differences between them.

The title of "sexual predator" applies to anyone convicted of a sexual offense committed from October 1, 1993 forward.

The term "sexual offender" applies to anyone who has committed a sexual offense on any date and is being released on or after October 1, 1997 from the sanctions imposed on him for his crime. A sanction could be anything from a fine or probation to parole or community control.

Unless a file is confidential, the FDLE and the Sheriff or Police Chief are obligated to give out any information available on sexual predators to anyone who asks. It is mandatory to notify a community if any sexual predators reside or move to the neighborhood; notification is optional for sexual offenders.

Toll Free Hotline
Call FDLE's hotline at 1.888.357.7332 to learn about sexual offenders in your area.
