Compliance checks were conducted last week on registered sex offenders in the Ft. Smith area. Assisting the Ft. Smith Police Department were the Arkansas Probation & Parole per- sonnel and the U. S. Marshals Service. A news release from the Police Department stated that officers verified an offender's address by actually going to the person's listed address. 241 offenders, out of 260, were verified living where they had reported to live. There were only six found to be in violation and one arrest, according to the release.
Thirteen of the remaining nineteen offenders were not verified during this time. However, police will continue the verification. For a map of registered sex offenders in Ft. Smith go to www.fortsmithpd.org and click on the Public Awareness tab and hit Sex Offender Search.
