    2009 STATISTICS FROM THE CONNECTICUT SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY

The Connecticut Sex Offender Registry completed registrations on 356 new registered sex offenders during the 2009 calendar year, bringing the total number of sex offenders in the State of Connecticut at the end of the 2009 calendar year to 5,055. There are currently 5,076 registered sex offenders living, working or attending schools in Connecticut. 

Persons required to register under Connecticut's sex offender registry laws must verify their address every 90 days. The registrants have 10 days to return an address verification form to the Sex Offender Registry or face arrest for a class "D" felony. There are currently 557 registrants who have failed to verify their address in Connecticut. The Sex Offender Registry updated the photos of 457 registrants during 2009.

In 2009 the Sex Offender Registry Unit completed 631 investigative reports on registrants who have failed to verify their address. These reports were forwarded to the local law enforcement agencies where the registrants last reported residing. The local law enforcement agencies, who are required by law to apply for arrest warrants for these violations, utilize the investigative reports to obtain the arrest warrants. In 2009, 150 registrants completed their ten year registration term and were removed from the Registry after investigations were completed to verify that they met the requirements to be removed.

The Connecticut Sex Offender Registry website had over 11 million hits on registered sex offenders living, working, or attending schools in the state in 2009. Information can be searched on the website by last name, town, zip code, or by viewing an entire list of registrants. The information is provided free of charge and persons making inquiries do not have to identify themselves. A list of the current number of registered sex offenders in each local jurisdiction is listed below. Additionally, in October 2009 the Sex Offender Registry launched its new public website. The new website provides the public with mapping features of each registrant. There is an email alert feature available to the public to be alerted whenever a registrant moves into a designated radius of an address. Since October 2009, 1,965 citizens have signed up for email alerts. The public website address for search and notification of offenders moving in the area is: http://www.communitynotification.com/ct/state/
