I went in to the sheriff’s office…SORT, Brevard County…to re register. I checked in with the outside ‘squawk box’ to the lady who does registration. She asked my name and told me to sit down in chairs that had been placed outside. It was a beautiful morning. In a few minutes she came to the door and asked me if there had been any changes since my last registration. I told her ‘no’. She asked me if I wanted a copy of the reporting documents and I told her page one was all I wanted. She went back inside and in a few minutes came back out with page one. She said have a good day. I told her that we need to do it this way all the time…she agreed. I have never had a problem of registration with the sheriff’s office; now probation…thank God I’m off of it…is another story.

In reply to Rh. For two reasons. Punishment and money.

In reply to Rh. The officer called me just after the above post. I have made several phone calls raising hell about this issue. They need to get their act together. As I stated we are under their supervision not the other way around

In reply to David. The detective that does my home verification called and did mine over the phone last week. And said fees are waived.. so if it’s this easy why don’t they do this all the time?

I have a question for FAC. If, as during this crisis, the Sheriff’s officer that does monthly home verifications can do your registry, where they always ask if anything has changed, why can’t this issue be raised now? It would do away with the burden of in person reporting and, possibly, the $25.00 extortion fees and the incompetence, laziness, and failure to notify registrants as shown by JREC’s actions. I realize that it is punishment and a money making issue for the State and Counties, but it is still a valid issue!

Update! I finally got through to JREC at 904-630-8600! The lady told me that a sign was posted on the front door that stated in yellow highlighter that ?If you are a sex offender or predator to call this number”, I am assuming 904-630-8600. I told her that I went to JREC on April 1, 2020 and took a photo of the door, and their paper notice, and that it did NOT provide a phone number, she stated that it was posted in mid March and provided a phone number! I have the photo proving otherwise, and told her that I would email it to her if she provided me with an email address, which she refused to do!!! She stated that the officer that does monthly home verification would do our registry and that the $25.00 extortion fees would be waived. Why are we required to jump through hoops to find out what the hell is going on? They need to do their jobs and provide basic information to offenders, they have our phone numbers and email addresses! FYI the officer that does my home verification has yet to show up this month as well!

JREC in Duval County has a sheet of paper posted on their door that reads: “While the City of Jacksonville is in a state of emergency, JREC will be closed for services. We will reopen when the state of emergency is lifted.” I called the FDLE offender registration office in Tallahassee today and the gentleman informed me that JREC is accepting call in registrations and that their number is 904-301-2410. The JREC sign made no such statement and provided no phone number, moreover they did not notify any registrants that their office would be closed! If you would like to verify this with FDLE their number is: 1-888-357-7332.

In reply to Jm. We have been warning about scams where people are getting calls from individuals CLAIMING to be detectives. The calls are bogus.
