See question ten and answer below. Sexual offenders and sexually violent predators are required to register all current and intended addresses with the Pennsylvania State Police. The Pennsylvania State Police maintains a computer registry of this information for law enforcement purposes. Sexual offenders and sexually violent predators who are incarcerated in a correctional facility are required to register all intended addresses with the Pennsylvania State Police prior to their release from incarceration. Sexually violent predators are subject to lifetime registration.
Sexual offenders are generally subject to a ten-year registration period.
Also, a sexual offender with two or more convictions for any sexually violent offense is subject to lifetime registration. Sexually violent predators are subject to lifetime community notification. Community notification is the process by which the community's chief law enforcement officer notifies the community of the presence of the sexually violent predator. The community notification flyer contains the name of the predator, the predator's address or addresses, the sexually violent offense for which the predator was convicted, a statement that the person has been designated to be a sexually violent predator, and a photograph of the sexually violent predator. Notice of the sexually violent predator's presence in the community is provided to the neighbors of the sexually violent predator, meaning those persons who live or work within 250 feet of the predator's residence or the 25 most immediate residences and places of employment in proximity to the predator's residence, whichever is greater.
