Ontario Sex Offender Registry

Role of Local Police

Police services play an essential role in managing and maintaining the Ontario Sex Offender Registry in their communities.

They are responsible for:

• Establishing a registration site where offenders must report
  
• Registering offenders who report to that site by collecting and entering all the required information into the Ontario Sex Offender Registry database
  
• Enforcing Christopher’s Law (Ontario Sex Offender Registry 2000.)
  

All police services in Ontario have access to the Ontario Sex Offender Registry database 24-hours-a-day, 7-days-a-week.
