The
Sex Offenders Registration Act, MCL 28.721et seq., directs the Michigan
State Police to develop and maintain a public registry and provides guidelines
on the type of offender information available to the public. The legislature
has determined that a person who has been convicted of committing an offense
covered by this act poses a potential serious menace and danger to the health,
safety, morals, and welfare of the people, and particularly the children, of
this state. The registration requirements of the Sex Offenders Registration Act
are intended to provide the people of this state with an appropriate,
comprehensive, and effective means to monitor those persons who pose such a
potential danger. The offense link available on the offender details page
reflects the current statute and due to continuous legislative changes, may not
be indicative of the statute at the time the offender was convicted.
The information contained on the PSOR can change quickly. The MSP frequently
updates the registry in a continuous effort to provide complete and accurate
information. While much of the information is obtained from public records,
some information, such as physical description and residence, is gathered from
the offenders themselves who may fail to provide accurate information.
Therefore, the MSP makes no representation, express or implied, that the
information contained on the PSOR is accurate. Any individual who believes
information contained on the PSOR is not accurate should contact the local law
enforcement agency, sheriff's office, or the nearest state police post having
jurisdiction over the offender's residence.
Information provided through the PSOR is public information. However, it is your
responsibility to make sure the records accessed through the registry pertain
to the person about whom you are seeking information. Extreme care should be
exercised in using any information obtained from this web site. Information on
this site must not be used to unlawfully injure, harass, or commit a crime
against any individual named in the registry or residing or working at any
reported address. Any such action could result in civil or criminal penalties.
The MSP is not responsible for any errors or omissions produced by secondary
dissemination of this information.
