What is US Dept of Justice NSOPW App?
The U.S. Department of Justice national sex offender search app is an official app that provides users with information about registered sex offenders that have residential, employment, or school addresses within a close proximity of the mobile device running the app. The app is funded through a grant from the Office of Sex Offender Sentencing, Monitoring, Apprehending, Registering and Tracking (“SMART”), Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice. The app is designed to provide additional access to The Dru Sjodin National Sex Offender Public Website (NSOPW), a public safety resource that provides the public with free access to sex offender data nationwide.
- Provides information about registered sex offenders within a close proximity of the mobile device running the app
- Searches can be conducted nationally using a ¼ mile, ½ mile, or 1 mile radius or by offender name
- Initial search will be performed based upon the location of the mobile device, but searches can be run from other locations by tapping those locations on the map
- In the event that the registering jurisdiction does not allow searching by geographic coordinates for registered sex offender addresses, a zip code search will be used to find matching offenders
- NSOPW is actively working with all jurisdictions to allow searching by geographic coordinates and will modify the app searching capabilities as improvements become available
- Provides a link to the details about the particular registered sex offender on the registering jurisdiction’s public sex offender website when tapping the “More Information” button
- The purpose of the app is solely to provide users with the ability to search for registered sex offenders by location and name.
- Mapping and searching work great in Florida
- Website gives a good explanation for why mapping feature does not work in all states
- App tells you what is going on if you are in a state where mapping does not work
- Gives peace of mind knowing where offenders live
- No tracker on them to know their exact location
- Can drop a pin on the in-app map to get results

Just downloaded now and took a quick look at St. Paul Mn area. Tapped on map to provide a point around which to search. A label pops up telling how many offenders are in the area but no indication of the boundaries of the area. I finally was able to place a pin and get a hit that said "9 results" (nothing shows on map, which is counter to what the description pictures show). Clicked on "results" and got a list, less than half showed a photo. Clicked on the individual hoping to see details but details were minimal. At the bottom of the page was a button for more info which took me to the website/page for what looks like a booking page with much more detail like "last known address" and more description (height, weight....)
Should have more data in USDeptofJusticeNSOPWApp like a pin or icon showing perps location. Trying to find a safe location for my daughter to live. This is somewhat helpful but could be much better. I will watch for improvements.

USDeptofJusticeNSOPWApp has a map feature but it seems disabled in the majority of areas so you're only ever looking at list of offender names and nothing else (no pictures or crime details). Overall useless.

I live in Florida and the mapping and searching work great. It looks like that does not work in all states and the website gives a good explanation for why that is and has a map showing what states the mapping feature works in. USDeptofJusticeNSOPWApp does tell you what is going on though if you are in a state where mapping does not work. Hopefully all the states will work the same soon.

I love USDeptofJusticeNSOPWApp! It gives me a little peace just knowing where they live. I understand their is no tracker on them to know their exact location. But that’s prying into their privacy so I understand. But I realized that some offenders residence has not been updated this year! That is a very serious manner. And I think action should be taken immediately! Thank you For creating USDeptofJusticeNSOPWApp

Not sure what other reviewers are speaking of. If you're concerned for the safety of your family, this is a useful download. I recommend dropping a pin on the in-app map. That is how you get the results to come up. I subtracted one star because that part was not immediately intuitive when using USDeptofJusticeNSOPWApp . Overall, USDeptofJusticeNSOPWApp serves the purpose.

On the full website, the range can be set at 5 miles maximum. But on USDeptofJusticeNSOPWApp , the maximum is only 1 mile, that's hardly enough. Sex offenders have cars, you see, they don't have to live within walking distance to post a threat to your family.
By Amistaria
This is all bad. It 'works' as long as you have jurisdiction, so you don't even get to see anything for where you live! Half way across the country yeah but not where it's important. How do you not have jurisdiction to share your files in a location? It's a good concept but not there yet

We can't see faces or addresses in a map. Only a list that says there are some nearby. Excellent initiative but Please fix this for the safety of our kids. Thanks you!!

There are many, so many names missing. Also, you can only search a max of one mile. LogSat Software LLC Has a much better web page. Check theirs out. You can find it in USDeptofJusticeNSOPWApp search under “SexOffenders”!

Useless without being able to view on map.

Worthless. Shows NOTHING.

unmappable . Shows a list of offenders in a zip area.

If you need USDeptofJusticeNSOPWApp, You shouldn’t have kids! It’s FEAR MONGERING. It’s a Political CON TOOL!!!

Not a SINGLE pin on the map for my area code of more than 100,000 residents in the suburbs of Nashville. This is a DANGEROUS app because it misleads people that their area is free of sex offenders.

We live in northern IL. The map on USDeptofJusticeNSOPWApp does show anything. You can get a list of names per zip code or searching for a specific name. I felt the map would be the most useful.
By ApeppersF
Doesn't populate anything on the map, no pictures and provides no information on the offender. Go to familywatchdog.us unlike USDeptofJusticeNSOPWApp, it works
