Hello everyone and welcome to the Sheriff's Corner. This week's Corner will have the third installment covering the sexual predator/sexual offender. This week I'll talk about the sexual predator and offender registration and restriction responsibility. Both offender/predator are required by law to follow and adhere to these procedures and restrictions.


First, the predator/offender must report in person to the Sheriff's Office or FDLE office within 48 hours of being released from custody or supervision from the Department of Corrections or Children & Family Services to register their address, permanent or temporary. If they don't, it's a third degree felony.


Next, the predator/offender, after finishing the above requirement, must report in person to the Department of Motor Vehicles to obtain a valid Florida drivers license or ID card unless they already received and updated Florida drivers license while under the supervision of Department Of Corrections or Children & Family Services. If they don't do this, it's a third degree felony.


If the predator/offender changes their address, temporary or permanent, changes their name due to marriage or other legal reason, or when they change or update their driver's license, they must report in person to the DHSMV to obtain and maintain their valid drivers license within 48 hours of the change. If they don't, it's a felony of the third degree.


If the offender/predator lives in another state but works or goes to school in Florida, they must register their work residence with FDLE. They must also obtain and maintain a valid Florida driver's license or ID. Again, if they don't, it's a third degree felony.


Offenders/predators are subject to periodic verification of their address by law enforcement, which may also include a letter that they must respond to.


If the offender/predator becomes employed, is a student or becomes a resident of another state they have to register also in that state.


In short, any move or change intention must be updated even if the change doesn't happen. In fact, if you report you are moving but then decide to remain in Florida, you must report in person to the Sheriff's Office or FDLE. If you don't it is a felony of the second degree.


I hope to finish this topic next week or the following week. If you have any questions please give us a call. Have a great week.
