Review: Top 3 SEX OFFENDER Search Sites

As I have mentioned elsewhere, any good mom is always thinking about her child’s safety. Before long, my child will be out riding bikes and running around the neighborhood any chance he can get. But the truth is, he may not be safe everywhere he goes! There are registered criminals out there, all around us. In fact, many State Supreme Courts rule that towns can’t ban sex offenders from living near schools and parks!

Sex Offenders? Near Us?!

Therefore everyone needs to know where these people live. Thankfully, there are resources to help you locate registered Sex Offenders in your neighborhood. With a little time in front of the computer, you can get a detailed report on registered sex offenders by zip.

How Do They Work?

To identify registered sex offenders living near you, just fill in your zip code. The following 3 sites all offer sex offender searches by zip code. While some offer more features than others, you are sure to improve the safety of your family from the very beginning.

Top Players in the Game

Enter the good guys. The following three services, each somewhat different, have been created by folks who value time, money, and safety. The world is changing for the better when it comes to respecting the safety of our families and loved ones. These groups have listened to our concerns and have responded. I think you’ll be as impressed with them as I am:


#1 Net Detective (Law Enforcement Edition)*

  • > The largest database I’ve seen (1.1 billion records)
  • > Search and map Sex Offenders by Zip Code
  • > Full background checks and criminal records
  • > Excellent customer service
  • > Updated records on 90% of U.S. residents
  • > 90 day satisfaction guarantee

Net Detective is hands down the most full-featured public records database available. Their Sex Offender data, while extremely accurate, is only the tip of the iceberg here. Additional features include background checks, address histories, reverse phone lookups, and criminal records.
* Law Enforcement Edition is a paid upgrade, but let me assure you it is worth every penny.


#2 National Alert Registry

  • > Specializes in Sex Offender whereabouts by Zip Code
  • > Receive Red Alert notifications when changes to the database affect you
  • > High-res interactive maps
  • > Color photos of sex offenders
  • > Detailed descriptions of the crimes committed
  • > Free Child ID Kit

The National Alert Registry is hailed as one of the premier sites for educating households about the status of registered sex offenders living near their homes, schools, day-cares, and friends and relatives. While not a full-featured background and criminal records tool like Net Detective, this service doesn’t pretend to be anything it is not. The free child ID kit is worth the price alone. If you’re looking strictly for sex offender data (and the child ID kit) look no further.


#3 Complete Detective

  • > Big Database
  • > Easy to Use Interface
  • > Good Sex Offender data
  • > 60 Day Guarantee
  • > Unlimited Searches

Another worthy background check and criminal records tool, Complete Detective is accurate and, well, complete! But for sex offender data you might find the first two choice above to be superior. You’ll want to play around with their background wizard for more advanced searches, but be prepared to lose a few hours of your life. It is addictive!


Final Word

All three of the above services will help keep your family safe, and that is the number one priority here. While my top choice, Net Detective, is a full-service background check and public records tool, it may be a bit too deep for the light user. You can’t go wrong with any of these services and I urge you to start protecting yourself and your loved ones today. You’ll be amazed at what you find!
