Persons accessing the database are cautioned that the registry contains identifying information about the offense for which the sex offender/offender against children is registered. IT DOES NOT REFLECT THE ENTIRE CRIMINAL HISTORY OF THE LISTED SEX OFFENDER/OFFENDER AGAINST CHILDREN. LAW ENFORCEMENT IS ADVISED TO NOT ARREST BASED ON INFORMATION ON THE OUTSTANDING WARRANT LIST. PLEASE CHECK STATE WARRANT FILE AND WITH LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY HOLDING THE OUTSTANDING WARRANT. 

III. ""Sexual offender'' means a person who is required to register as a result of any violation or attempted violation of:
       (a) RSA 632-A:2, 632-A:3, 632-A:4, I(a), 632-A:4, I(b) if the actor was 21 years of age or older at the time of the offense, 645:1, II, or 645:1, III;
       (b) A law of another state or the federal government reasonably equivalent to a violation listed in subparagraph (a); or
       (c) Any other criminal offense which is not specifically listed in subparagraph (a) if the court finds by clear and convincing evidence at the time of conviction or sentencing that the person committed the offense as a result of sexual compulsion or for purposes of sexual gratification and protection of the public would be furthered by requiring the person to register. In determining whether the offender should be required to register, the court may consider the offender's prior criminal history and any other relevant information. Duration of the registration shall be for a period of time as required by the court but not less than 10 years from the date of release from custody. The court shall also make a finding as to whether the offender's name and registration information shall appear on the public list authorized by RSA 651-B:7. In determining whether the offender's name shall appear on the public list, the court shall consider whether the victim was a minor at the time of the crime; the nature of the offenses that are currently listed on the public list; whether public safety would be furthered by including the offender on the public list; and any other relevant factors. The hearing at which such a determination is made shall comply with due process requirements, including a right to appeal the finding. The court shall provide the defendant an opportunity to be heard on the issue prior to the imposition of the registration requirement and shall state on the record the reasons for its findings and the reasons for requiring registration.  IV. ""Local law enforcement agency'' means the chief of police in the city or town where the person resides or is temporarily domiciled, or, if the municipality has no police chief or if the person resides in an unincorporated place, the sheriff of the county where the person resides.
