Sex offenders are bad people.  The crime they commit leaves a mark on their victims forever.

Once a sex offender is convicted, he/she is required by law to register with the local police.  The police enter the information into a national sex offender registry.

The purpose of the registry is to help local citizens know when a sex offender moves into their neighborhood.  Anyone can access the registry to see if offenders live in their area.

The sad fact is that regardless of where you live in New Jersey, you probably have an offender close by.

When an offender doesn't register as required, it's an offense authorities take seriously.

These are two offenders who authorities are looking for.  You are reminded that these are dangerous individuals and if you know their whereabouts, you should never take the law into your own hands.  You're asked to call 9-1-1 or the numbers listed below.
