Click on the appropriate button below to indicate if you understand and accept
the information contained on this entire page and agree to abide by the laws of
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania's General Assembly has determined that public safety will be
enhanced by making information about registered sex offenders available to the
public through the Internet. Knowledge whether a person is a registered sex
offender could be a significant factor in protecting yourself, your family
members, or persons in your care from recidivist acts by registered sex
offenders. Public access to information about registered sex offenders is
intended solely as a means of public protection.
Pursuant to the provisions of Pennsylvania's Megan's Law, 42 Pa.C.S. § 9791 et
seq., the State Police has established this web page to provide timely
information to the public on registered sex offenders who reside, attend
school, are employed/carry on a vocation, within this Commonwealth.
Pennsylvania's Megan's Law, 42 Pa.C.S. § 9799.1, requires the State Police to
create and maintain a registry of persons who reside, work/carry on a vocation,
or attend school in the Commonwealth and who have either been convicted of,
entered a plea of guilty to, or adjudicated delinquent of
certain sex offenses in Pennsylvania or another jurisdiction.
Additionally, the Pennsylvania State Police is required to make certain
information on registered sex offenders available to the public through an
Internet website. The Pennsylvania State Police has established this website
according to the requirements of 42 Pa.C.S. § 9798.1.
