Ensuring notification

     It is an unfortunate quirk in Nevada's sex offender notification law that in most cases only certain groups -- not individuals -- may be informed when a sex offender moves into the community. Far better to make the information available to anybody who wants it.
      But until that's changed, the law is clear: Unless an offender is deemed likely to repeat his crime, only certain organizations that provide services or programs to women and children will be given the news when someone with a history of committing sex crimes moves to the area.
      Local police faced criticism last month when they failed to notify local community groups about the release of a dozen sex offenders. Metro said it was difficult to comply with the statute unless local groups specifically told the police they wanted to be informed. To that end, Metro has released a form that groups may submit to ensure notification. We print it below to make it more convenient for organizations to participate.
