La Porte County, IN – The La Porte County Sheriff’s Office conducted an unannounced compliance operation earlier today targeting registered sex offenders across the county.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, deputies checked 37 offenders listed on the Sex and Violent Offender Registry (SVOR). Of those, 33 were found to be compliant with their registration requirements, while four were found non-compliant. Investigations into each of those cases are now underway.
Officials said the compliance sweep supplements the department’s routine checks of all 205 registered sex offenders in La Porte County. The goal, they said, is to verify addresses and ensure that all information on the registry remains accurate and up to date.
The department utilizes the state’s OffenderWatch Sex Offender Management System, which allows law enforcement agencies across Indiana to monitor the whereabouts of registered offenders. Residents can also search the system at www.laportecountysheriff.com.
Questions about the SVOR or registry updates can be directed to Melissa Unger, the SVOR Coordinator for the La Porte County Sheriff’s Office, at (219) 326-7700 ext. 2320 or via email at munger@lcso.in.gov.
