South Dakota Sex Offenders List

Public access to the South Dakota Sex Offenders List is the result of several acts passed by Congress, which require states - like South Dakota - to release relevant information about registered sex offenders to protect the public.

South Dakota Registry

Each state differs in terms of how it administers its community notification process. The South Dakota sex offenders registry IS accessible on-line via the following link:

South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation

South Dakota Sex Offenders List Excerpt: "The Division of Criminal Investigation is mandated by state and federal laws to establish and maintain a registry of convicted sexual offenders living in South Dakota (SDCL 22-22-31 through 22-22-41). The purpose of the sex offender registry is to track the location of a class of offenders that, by nature of their crimes, pose an ongoing risk to public safety."

Other Registries

Although you can get registered sex offender information directly from a State Sex Offenders List like that of South Dakota, in fact, from almost all state government web sites, you'll probably find it easier to do a free search or a full search of several other sex offender registries.
