Registered Sex Offenders

The Pingree Grove Police Department currently does not keep an online database of registered sex offenders. Please visit the Illinois sex offender website for more information regarding registered sex offenders living in the Pingree Grove area.

Illinois Sex Offender Registry

In December 2003, Attorney General Madigan worked with law enforcement leaders throughout Illinois to create the Illinois Sex Offender Registry Team (I-SORT) to improve our state’s Sex Offender Registry. I-SORT also has a toll-free number to take phone-in tips about inaccurate or incomplete entries on the sex offender registry and to answer your questions about the registry law. Please visit the I-SORT website for further information or to contact I-SORT at 1-888-41-ISORT (1-888-414-7678) .

Family Watchdog

Family Watchdog maps the addresses of registered sex offenders in your neighborhood or near your child’s school. Just type a location or address into the website’s search box, and Family Watchdog generates a map pinpointing the address of nearby registered sex offenders. If you’re looking for a specific individual, you can search for them by name.

Color-coded icons correspond to various sex crimes, including crimes against children, sexual battery, and rape. Click the icon, and you’ll see a picture of the offender, learn their aliases, and find out what sex crime they’ve been convicted of.

You can sign up for alerts whenever a registered sex offender moves in or out of your neighborhood through the website. In addition to detailed information about offenders, this online tool offers personal safety tips, facts about sexual abuse, and a comprehensive blog and newsletter.

Family Watchdog is a free service, but you’ll be sent off-site to a subscription service if you want detailed background reports about any offenders.
