Georgia maintains a database of 2,300 sex offenders released from prison or currently on parole or probation.
Users can search the site by city, county, ZIP code and name of offender.
In 1999, the GBI was hoping to provide enough digital cameras to post photographs of the sex offenders on its site. Current information on each sex offender includes name, street and city of residence, physical characteristics, date of birth and crime committed. In order to complete registration in the state of Georgia, the offender must either have been released from prison or placed on probation, parole or supervised release after July 1, 1996. If an offender who is registered in another state moves to Georgia, the offender is required to register in the state of Georgia. The Atlanta Police Department maintains a searchable database with the names of people arrested for sex-related offenses.
