It's a user- friendly design that
includes a new mapping feature.

Enter your address and a

registered sex offenders live and work
around you.

Identifying marks like scars and
tattoos are included in new detailed
descriptions.

You can also learn whether an
offender's victim was a child or adult.

The changes come after missing
photographs and out- dated information
were discovered in the existing
registry.


Getting the new registry on line
will cost the state more than two-
