Sex Offenders

Below are the six most recent Sex Offender notifications. The Pima County Sheriff's Department is releasing the following information pursuant to ARS 13-3825, which authorizes law enforcement agencies to inform the public when the release of information will enhance public safety and protection. To receive geo-based sex offender notifications as they become available, register for NIXLE alerts. Additionally, nationwide detailed geo-based sex offender information is available at www.CrimeReports.com. To inquire about specific registered sex offenders in the State of Arizona, please go to the Department of Public Safety's Sex Offender Info site.

The individuals pictured in this notification have been convicted of a sex offense which allows for community notification. They are not wanted by the sheriff's department at this time. This notification is not intended to increase fear; rather it is our belief that an informed community is a safer community. Sex offenders have always lived in our communities, but law enforcement was not allowed to share this information with you. After passage of Megan's law, we are now allowed to share this information with you. Citizen abuse of this information to threaten, intimidate or harass registered sex offenders will not be tolerated. Further, such abuse could potentially end law enforcement's ability to do community notifications.

If you have information to report regarding a convicted sex offender who resides in Pima County, please contact Detective H. Palomino, of the Pima County Sheriff's Department, at (520) 351-6257 or the Department of Public Safety.

Registered sex offenders are categorized into three levels: This site will only show level 2 and 3 offenders. All the offenders listed here are either initial sex offender registrants or have relocated, requiring new notifications. Click on the photo to see all information.

Sex Offenders Registration Laws

The Pima County Sheriff's Department is responsible for registering sex offenders who reside in Pima County.

Pursuant to Arizona Revised Statute any person who has been convicted of certain sex offenses is required to register, within 72 hours, with the sheriff of the county they reside in after their release or after moving to a new location. Please refer to A.R.S. 13-3821 for specific offenses.

Pursuant to A.R.S. 13-3826, a committee was established to formulate and adopt community notification guidelines. The committee is comprised of: the State Attorney General, State legislators, representatives from county sheriff's departments, chiefs of police, county attorneys, adult probation officers, adult parole administrators, the Department of Public Safety Director, the Department of Transportation Director, and a licensed psychologist examiner. The community notification guidelines implemented shall provide for levels of notification based on the risk that a particular sex offender poses to the community.

Beginning June 1, 1996, any person who was convicted of certain sex offenses or released from jail, prison, or placed on probation on or after this date is subject to community notification. A risk assessment is conducted of the offender's likelihood to re-offend and a risk level is assigned to the offender.

• Level I (low risk)
• Level II (intermediate risk)
• Level III (high risk)

Level I's require in-home notification only where the offender resides. Level II's and Level III's require community notification. Per A.R.S. 13-3827, the Arizona Department of Public Safety is required to maintain an internet database of all Level II and Level III sex offenders.
