The Lakeland Police Department assists other governmental agencies in the monitoring and verification of sexual offenders and sexual predators.

The Department does not maintain specific databases or registries of these offenders in our community. We do work with Probation Officers from the Department of Corrections and other law enforcement agencies by assisting with address verifications throughout the year.

As a service to the community, we provide a link below to the web site of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement's FDLE Sexual Predator/Offender Registry.
