The public information provided by the Frederick County Sheriff’s Office in this Registered Sex Offender Map is a proactive effort to protect children and others from those with histories of crimes against children and other sexual offenses.
The information on the Registered Sex Offenders has been provided to the Sheriff’s Office by the registrant and is based upon the last notification received. Because the data is self-reported by the registrant and time sensitive:
- The Sheriff’s Office cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information.
- Registrants may have moved without notifying the Sheriff’s Office.
- Because of changes in the data, the map will be updated periodically; every effort will be made to have it updated biweekly.
Parents and concerned citizens should always monitor their surroundings and take appropriate precautions.
The information presented on this website shall not be used in any manner to injure, harass, or take any unlawful action against any individual named in the registry, who may be residing or working at the reported address. Any such action could subject you to criminal prosecution.
Alleged violations of law by registrants under Maryland’s program should be reported to any local law enforcement unit. If you have knowledge that a Frederick County registrant is not residing at the “Last Reported Residence” mapped in this site, you are encouraged to call 301-600-3660.
The Frederick County Sheriff’s Office shall not be responsible for any errors or omissions produced by the secondary dissemination of this information.
An individual must register as a sexually violent predator if before moving into this state, the individual was required to register by another state, federal, military, or Native American tribal court every 90 days for life.
