~ florida adds search capabilities to sexual offender database ~

Florida adds a neighborhood search to the Sexual Offenders and Predators online database. Go to the site.

With almost 35,000 registered sex offenders and predators, the FDLE database is one of the largest of its kind in the nation. Over the past 10 years, FDLE has provided a website giving Floridians the ability to search for sex offenders by zip code, county, city or name. As of today, the updated site now includes a user-friendly NeighborhoodTrac search system developed by Pitney Bowes to give parents and others a more targeted search area ranging up to five miles. Pitney Bowes Chairman and CEO Michael Critelli joined Crist and Tunnell at an event unveiling the new system. Read the press release.
