New Yorkers to be alerted about sex offenders

In a release received by Assemblyman Tom O'Mara (R,I,C-Big Flats) Monday, it was announced that New Yorkers can sign up for and receive e-mail alerts, text messages or faxes notifying them when a Level 2 or 3 sex offender moves into their neighborhood or other selected geographic area.

O'Mara noted that those interested in signing up for the alerts may do so by going to www.criminaljustice.state.ny.us. E-mail updates will be provided free of charge, according to O'Mara, and are triggered when addresses for Level 2 and 3 sex offenders listed on the Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) web site are changed on the state's Sex Offender Registry.

"The e-mail alerts provide timely information regarding the whereabouts of dangerous sex offenders and is an important tool for parents," said O'Mara in his release. "I am pleased that I could do my part in helping to create this new public safety initiative."
