Find Out If Your Missouri Neighbor is Potentially Dangerous

I've seen the maps and you would be shocked how many previous sex offenders likely live in your neighborhood. There's a quick and safe way to find out if you live near someone potentially dangerous in Missouri.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol has provided you a safe online tool to find out what potential dangers reside in your neighborhood or near where you work. Their digital Missouri Sex Offender Registry allows you to either search and area or an individual's name to see if they are a convicted felon.

Here are a couple of very important things to keep in mind. The Missouri State Highway Patrol does not allow you to use this tool to find and harass anyone. You could be in trouble yourself if you decide to become a citizen vigilante. Also, the fact that someone is found on this list does NOT infer they will commit any crimes in the future. This is simply a tool for you to be informed what people near you have been convicted of a sex crime so you can make decisions on who you trust or don't.

There are multiple way you can use this Missouri State Highway Patrol Sex Offender Registry. You can search for an exact name or you can input your specific home and/or work address and the map will show you red dots showing where a previous sex offender lives or a blue dot showing where they work.

As an example, I zoomed in on the city of Springfield, Missouri and this is the result. Be very afraid in Springfield.

Here's Columbia, Missouri.

Finally, here are the registered sex offenders in Hannibal, Missouri.

You have a right to know if someone that works or lives near you has a dangerous criminal history. This tool from Missouri law enforcement makes that process much safer and easier.
