[June 22, 2012]
The National Megan's Law Helpline,
888-ASK-PFML (888-275-7365), is available to provide support to
communities on issues related to accessing sex offender registration
information; responsible use of information; sexual abuse prevention
resources; and accessing crime victim support services.
|
Parents for Megan's Law staff provide assistance to the community in
accessing their state sex offender registries, and prevention
specialists provide support to parents and community members to
assist in their sexual abuse prevention education strategies.
Certified rape crisis counselors are available to support all
victims of violent crime and to provide geographically appropriate
referrals.
The Sex Offender Registration Tips Program provides the public an
opportunity to report registrants who are failing to comply with
registration requirements, employment or supervision restrictions,
or who are in positions of trust where they can access children.
Tips can be provided via the phone number given above or at
www.parentsformeganslaw.org. Agency-deputized staff work
collaboratively with federal, state and local law enforcement
agencies to facilitate the appropriate follow-up action.
This program is not intended to be used to report police
emergencies. Dial 911 or contact your local law enforcement agency
directly for emergencies.
