Tennessee Sex Offender Information

The Tennessee sex offender information is maintained as part of the program of Tennessee Sexual Offender Registry, an initiative of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.  A search can be made on http://www.ticic.state.tn.us/sorinternet/sosearch.aspx to determine the presence of suspected sexual predators in your neighborhood. The website, maintained by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is updated on a regular basis. On the website, you will come across a form with relevant offender search criteria.

As a resident of Tennessee you can make a search by filling out any of the search criteria and get relevant results.  You can make your search on the basis of the name of the offender, the city and county of residence, zip code and the TID number. If you are aware of the TID number, it becomes easy to locate an offender, as each offender is assigned a unique number. You can also make a secondary residential search with the help of the city, county and zip code.

Only a part of the sex offender information is made available to the public, the one enumerated by the subdivisions (e) (1)-(13). If a sex offender moves into Tennessee from any other state, then the information related to his offense will also be made accessible to the public irrespective of the date and place of commitment of the crime. This is in compliance to the statute § 40-39-203. The offenders need to report to the concerned law enforcement authority within a span of 48 hours after moving into the state and at a new address.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation also maintains a toll free number where people from any part of the state can call even at odd hours for sex offender information. The number to dial in this regard is 1 888 837 4170. You can dial this number to know whether a suspect in the neighborhood is listed on the state sex offenders list or not.
