The Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services received a $200,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Sex Offender Sentencing, Monitoring, Apprehending, Registering, and Tracking (SMART) under the Support for Adam Walsh Act Implementation Grant Program (CFDA 16.750). The grant funds will support three key activities: 1) Providing sex offender registry training to state law enforcement, 2) Reimbursing local jurisdictions for sex offender registrant management, and 3) Migrating historical offender registration data into the current system. These efforts aim to enhance Maryland's sex offender registration and notification systems in compliance with the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA). The grant has a performance period from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027.

Maryland department of public safety and corrections will use AWA grant funds to support three activities: 1) the SEX offender registry training project, which will provide SOR training state law enforcement; 2) the maryland support of local enforcement project, which will provide local jurisdictions with SEX offender registrant reimbursement, and 3) project securitas, which will support the migration of historical registration data from the previous offender management system into the current system.
