INDIANA SHERIFFS' SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY
Effective January 1, 2003,
Zachary's Law requires sheriff departments to jointly establish and maintain
the Indiana Sheriffs' Sex Offender Registry to provide detailed information
about individuals who register as sex or violent offenders at Indiana
sheriff departments (or, in Marion County, the Indianapolis Metropolitan
Police Department). The purpose of the registry is to inform the general
public about the identity, location, and appearance of sex and violent
offenders who live, work, or study in Indiana.
Zachary's Law is named for Zachary Snider of Cloverdale, Indiana.
Zachary was 10 years old when he was murdered by a convicted child molester
in 1993.
An individual who has been convicted of a crime, convicted of
attempting to commit a crime, or convicted of conspiring to commit a crime
under the laws of another state or in a military court that is substantially
equivalent to any of the above-listed offenses; or
A child who is at least 14 years of age and is on probation or
parole or is discharged from a facility by the department of
correction, discharged from a secure private facility, or discharged
from a juvenile detention facility as a result of being adjudicated
as a delinquent child for an act that would be an offense listed
above if committed by an adult (IC 31-37-1-1 to -2) and is found by
a court to be likely to repeat an act that would be an offense
listed above if committed by an adult (IC 31-37-19-5 (b)(1)).
The following sex offenders are required to register with the
Sheriff's Department in the county where the offender intends to
live, work or study for longer than seven (7) days (IC 11-8-8-7). In
Marion County, offenders must register with the Indianapolis
Metropolitan Police Department.
