In order to maintain awareness of sex offenders living in your neighborhood, we have added a Sex Offender Registry to our website.  The registry will allow you to enter any local address. It will then provide a list of all registered Laurens County sex offenders living within a one-mile radius within the boundaries of Laurens County . If you are looking for information about a particular sex offender, registered in Laurens County , the registry can help there as well.

We encourage you to take advantage of the free email notification. When a sex offender registers with the Laurens County Sheriff's Office you will be alerted if the offender's address is:

       1.   in Laurens County , and
                                                             2.   within one mile of the address you have entered on your subscription.

I encourage every Laurens County resident to use our email notification system because you are able to register multiple addresses such as your baby sitters home, day care facility, church, school, office or homes your children visit frequently so that those places are also automatically monitored.

As your Sheriff, and as a father, it is my commitment to keep our most precious commodity, our children, from becoming a victim of sexual assault.  By providing immediate notification to our citizens about sexual predators that live within our neighborhood we are one step further to obtaining that goal. I hope that every citizen who lives in Laurens County whether they are a parent, teacher, librarian, bus driver, or day care operator, will sign up today.  

                                                                                                                Sincerely, 
                                                                                                                Ricky W. Chastain
