Community Notification
 Sex Offender Watch


Blooming Grove Police has partnered with Orange County to create a countwide

Database of sex offenders.  This database will enable our community to search for

Offenders near their home address and register to receive immediate notifications about

Offenders who reside into their area.  The system also allows our agency immediate

access to current information about all of the offenders in Orange County and allows

our community to be notified as soon as we add or change offender data.  It works in real time.

Currently, the system is only listing level 2 and 3 sex

Offenders, but we are working with Orange County to list level 1 offenders as well.

Please click on the link below to view all level 2 and 3 offenders that are being monitored

By the Town of Blooming Grove Police Department. 

Level 1 offenders will be listed at the bottom of this page.

 

Level 2 and 3 Sex Offenders

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notice:

Due to an error in the law when it was created, our law makers forgot to allow Police Departments to

notify our vulnerable populations of the exact addresses of level 2 offenders. 

To view those addresses, please visit the link below and search for the offenders on New York's SORA website.
Please visit:  NYS DCJS Sex Offender Registry Information

Sex Offender Risk Level Determination
Upon release to the community following a conviction for a registerable
offense, the sex offender is required to register with the Division of Criminal Justice Services.
 In order to determine the level of community notification and duration of registration,
 a hearing is held by the sentencing court.
 After examining the facts in the particular case, including, but not limited to,
 the use of force, weapons, alcohol or drugs, victim's age, number of victims,
 assault or injury of the victim and relationship to the victim,
 the court makes a determination regarding the offender's level of notification,
 commonly called the risk level. The risk level is based on the court's assessment as to
 whether a particular offender is likely to repeat the same or similar
 
Registerable Offense
 and the danger the offender poses to the community.
 Because the risk level reflects factors unique to a particular sex offender,
 offenders convicted of the same offense may receive different risk levels.
The court may assign one of the following three risk levels.
 The risk level governs the amount and type of information which can be released as
 
Community Notification

(Note: In the interim period between registration and the risk level hearing,
 the offender's risk level may be referred to as "pending" and information
 about the offender may only be released in accordance with the standards for a low risk offender).
 Level 1 (low risk of repeat offense)
Level 2 (moderate risk of repeat offense)
Level 3 (high risk of repeat offense and a threat to public safety exists).
 
**Notice to Parents**

It is important to remember that many sex crimes (especially crimes against children) go unreported.
Of the cases that are reported, many cannot be prosecuted for a variety of reasons.
Although SORA is a powerful tool for making communities safer, it only provides information
on a small population of all potential sex offenders living in the community.
Do not infer a false sense of security from the limited information contained in
any notifications about sex offenders living in your community.
If you are a parent, you should always know, and feel comfortable with,
any person who has unsupervised access to your child.
Never assume  that because someone you know is not on a list of known sex offenders
that there is nothing to worry about.
Trust - your – Instincts!
