Searching for sex offenders:
State law authorizes the release of information about certain sex offenders required to register under Megan's Law. The sex offenders are classified by risk level: Level 1 (low risk); Level 2 (medium risk); and Level 3 (high risk).

Level 1 offenders are required to register for a minimum of 20 years, and Level 2 and 3 offenders for life.

Police and law enforcement have access to information on all sex offenders. However, under the law, information on Level 1 offenders is not available on the public Web site. Only Level 2 and 3 offenders are listed.

While the state Division of Criminal Justice Service (DCJS) cannot disclose if there are any Level 1 sex offenders in your neighborhood or who they are, they can report whether a particular individual is on the registry. Call 1-800-262-3257 with the name and at least one other identifier (an exact address, date of birth, driver's license number, or a Social Security number) and the DCJS will tell you if that individual is a registered sex offender in New York.

The New York State Division of Criminal Justice Service (DCJS) is barred by law from posting information on Level 1 (low level) sex offenders, or those with a pending risk level, on this public site. However, while DCJS cannot tell you if there are any Level 1 sex offenders or sex offenders with a pending risk level in your neighborhood or who they are, the agency can tell you if a particular individual is on the registry. Call us at 1-800-262-3257 with the name and at least one other identifier (an exact address, date of birth, driver's license number, or a Social Security number) and the DCJS will tell you if that individual is a registered sex offender in New York.
