Sex Offender Registry

Commonwealth of Massachusetts Sex Offender Registry Board

The Sex Offender Registry Board is the state agency responsible for keeping a database of convicted sex offenders and classifying each offender so that the public may receive information about dangerous sex offenders who live or work in each community. The goal of the Sex Offender Registry is to educate the public and to prevent further assaults.

Any member of the public who is at least 18 years of age may request sex offender information. Information will be provided to any person who is seeking the information for his or her own information, or for the protection of a child who is under 18, or for the protection of another person for which the requesting person has the responsibility, care or custody.

Sex offender information may be requested:

• in person at Amherst Police Department, 111 Main Street
• in person at Hadley Police Department, 15 East Street
• by mail from the Sex Offender Registry Board
• online sex offender information request form

Please note that sex offender information is available to the public only if the offender has a duty to register and has been classified by the Board as a Level 2 or Level 3 offender.

National Sex Offender Registry

The National Sex Offender Registry is provided as a public service by the U.S. Department of Justice. Interested members of the public have access to and may search participating state website public information regarding the presence or location of offenders, who, in most cases, have been convicted of sexually-violent offenses against adults and children and certain sexual contact and other crimes against survivors who are minors. The public can use this site to educate themselves about the possible presence of such offenders in their local communities.
