Registered Sex Offenders

​The Kitsap County Sheriff's Office is committed to promoting community safety through public education, awareness, and compliance with sex and kidnapping offender registration requirements.

Washington State law requires certain individuals convicted of qualifying sex or kidnapping offenses to register with local law enforcement. The public registry provides residents with information about registered offenders living in their communities.​

Understanding Community Notifications

Registered sex offenders are assigned a risk classification based on factors established by Washington State law and applicable assessment procedures.

Level I: Generally considered a low risk to the community. Public notification is limited.

Level II: Considered a moderate risk to reoffend. Community notification may include information shared with appropriate organizations and individuals.

Level III: Considered a high risk to reoffend. Information may be broadly shared with the public to promote community awareness and safety.

The Kitsap County Sheriff's Office provides public notifications regarding Level III offenders in accordance with Washington State law.

Important Information

Registration does not necessarily mean an individual is currently wanted by law enforcement or is under court-ordered restrictions regarding where they may live. The Sheriff's Office does not have the authority to prohibit an individual from residing in a particular location unless a legal restriction applies.

Public registry information is provided for community awareness and safety. It must not be used to threaten, intimidate, harass, or harm any individual. Misuse of this information may result in criminal penalties.

More Information
​Sex offenders have always lived in our communities. However, it wasn't until the passage of the Community Protection Act of 1990, mandating sex offender registration, that law enforcement agencies routinely tracked where sex offenders were living.  Offender Watch manages and monitors the whereabouts of registered sex and kidnapping offenders in Kitsap County, as well as allowing you to see where level 2 and 3 registered sex offenders live within a 2-mile distance to your home. 

Citizen abuse of this information to threaten, intimidate, or harass registered sex offenders will not be tolerated.  Further, such abuse could potentially end law enforcement's ability to do community notifications.  We believe the only person who wins if community notification ends is the sex offender since sex offenders derive their power through secrecy.

The Kitsap County Sheriff's Office will release information on Level Three (3) registered sex offenders in Kitsap County in accordance with the Community Protection Act and related statutes. This information is not intended to create panic or alarm. The intent is to inform our citizens and to enhance community safety and awareness. These individuals have served the sentence imposed by the courts and, in compliance with the Community Protection Act, have advised the Kitsap County Sheriff's Office that they will be living in Kitsap County.

Please note that these individuals are not wanted by the police at this time. Additionally, because there are no court-ordered restrictions about their residences, the Kitsap County Sheriff's Office has no legal authority to direct where a sex offender may or may not live. Citizen abuse of this information to threaten, intimidate, or harass registered sex offenders will not be tolerated. In fact, such abuse could ultimately result in the end of law enforcement's ability to notify the public.

The Kitsap County Sheriff's Office believes the only person who wins if the community notifications end is the sex offender. Sex offenders gain their power through secrecy.
