BISMARCK — North Dakota has updated its sex offender website to make finding information easier, the state’s lead law enforcement official said Tuesday, June 21.
Attorney General Drew Wrigley announced the rollout of the new features in a news release. The improvements include displaying a map that shows the location of an offender’s address. It also includes photos, search functions and offense descriptions for all offenders, the release said.
Before the update, photos, search functions and offense description only existed for high-risk or lifetime offenders. People previously complained the site was difficult to search for some offenders, particularly those who didn’t have a risk level, Wrigley said in a statement.
“The updated website makes it easy to search for and find detailed information about every offender, regardless of their risk level,” Wrigley said in a statement.
More than 1,600 registered sex offenders lived, worked or went to school in North Dakota as of Friday.
