Surprise survey finds compliance among registered sexual offenders
Several law-enforcement agencies Dec. 2 conducted unannounced checks of 40 registered sex offenders in Delaware County, finding that a high percentage were in compliance with their residential registration.
During the survey, only one was found not in compliance with Ohio’s rules for registered sex offenders.
Chief Deputy Jon Scowden, of the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office, said the checks were conducted in person by county deputies, members of the Southern District of the U.S. Marshals Service, probation officers of the Delaware County Common Pleas Court’s adult court services and members of the sheriff’s victim-services unit. Scowden said the Marshals Service assisted with both personnel and federal funds authorized for coverage of deputies’ overtime costs. Ohio also might make a future move to more frequent checks, he said.

“One goal of the survey was that it be unexpected, he said, so that word could not spread among the sex offenders, giving them time to return to their registered residences.”
I had to laugh at that one… I had a PO once who thought like that. He WAS a miserable man who was paranoid we were out kidnapping, raping, and killing on his watch, and would randomly do bizarre things during house checks.
Apparently, as soon as someone has the label “criminal” applied to them, law enforcement will believe the absolutely most outlandish speculations about their behavior. This whole operation was either an outright overtime grab or an example of the ineptitude of those who are supposed to keep us safe. This is the type of stupidity that makes current crime eradication and prevention efforts ineffective.
Yup. It’s so easy to bask in the glory from easy-peasy “work” that involves watching those FTR and then take all the credit for “promoting” public safety. Meanwhile the cops don’t even have a perp in that Idaho college kids slaying.
Nobody,
One of my favorite shows is Blue Bloods. I use to work in law enforcement and do miss it somewhat and now I live it through the show. There is a character named Danny who is a detective and he and his female partner were arguing in one episode about if people that have a criminal past can change.
Of course she said not everyone is a career criminal but he felt the opposite and said “Once a criminal, always a criminal”. The reason this was even brought up was because Danny had a complaint filed against him at the police station by the ex-felon because Danny kept following the guy around hoping to catch him in the act of committing a crime and wouldn’t let it go or accept the guy was clean.
Once again, all that fat taxpayer money and nothing to show for it. These law enforcement agencies will do anything to find an excuse to expand their budgets every year.
Lol!! He’ll yeah Ohio is gonna make a future move to make more checks…. FREE AND EASY MONEY….
this madness has got to be stopped!!!!!!!
“Federal funds” spent by the US Marshall’s Office to help determine compliance is another way of saying “Taxpayer Money Wasted.”
So the federal government covers the cost of the overtime costs. Isn’t that convenient. They will all get a nice Christmas bonus with the fat overtime check, paid for by good old Uncle Sam. For doing something they admit is absolutely useless.
Tax payers should be furious over this. And they wonder why there taxes are so high, and why inflation is a problem.

They do not see it as their money being used even though it is in the big picture through tax appropriations. Many support more money for registry compliance than they do for border compliance.
They have been fed a lie that without the registry we would all go crazy kidnapping victims and dragging them into the woods by the 1000s.
Gee the Goon squad visited me in Uvalde Texas on the same day at 730 pm CST.
2 defectives and 3 US Marshall’s. So much fun. They wished me a good evening when they were through harassing me and scaring the neighbors!
That is Texas hospitality for you, wishing you a good evening after peeing in your cheerios. Reminds me of Chuck Norris as Walker Texas Ranger right before he kicked you in the face.
