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.

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.
