Knowing your neighborhood

“I think it’s important to know your surroundings. You need to know your neighborhood and know who’s around you, just for safety precautions.”

Those are the feelings of Franklin County Sheriff Shannon Oliver – feelings that express the sentiment behind the state law requiring the registration and reporting of sex offenders living in an area.

To learn the whereabouts of sex offenders in Franklin County, one need only look as far as the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office website. Since 2012, the Sex Offender tab at www.franklinsheriff.org has provided a thorough database of registered sex offenders in Franklin County, including a map pinpointing the location of these sex offenders. By clicking the name of a listed offender, citizens can access a photo, identifying details and other information on each offender listed.

“If there is something they feel uncomfortable about or somebody moves into the area, any information they need to know is available, and they can check it,” Oliver said. “They’ll be able click on the sex offender tab, and it will pull up and show a picture and a charge, and it will also show a map, just like a Google map, that will show you the area of the county they live in.”

Franklin County has 53 registered sex offenders who are required by law to register with the local sheriff’s office and give notification of where they live. This number only includes the offenders that require a public notice. Juveniles and those with non-notifiable offenses are not included in this number.

The Alabama Sex Offender Registration and Community Notification Act, Section 15-20A-10, states, “Immediately upon

release from incarceration, or immediately upon conviction if the adult sex offender is not incarcerated, the adult sex offender shall appear in person and register all required registration information with local law enforcement in each county in which the adult sex offender resides or intends to reside, accepts or intends to accept employment, and begins or intends to begin school attendance.”
