The rosebud sioux tribes SEX offender registry office is successfully registering, tracking and updating SEX offender information on a daily basis, as well as providing community outreach and education

The Rosebud Sioux Tribe was awarded a $490,793 Project Grant on Oct 1, 2024 by 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 funding will enable the tribe's Sex Offender Registry Office to enhance community awareness of registered sex offenders, expand collaboration with law enforcement on information sharing, upgrade its sex offender registration data systems, and provide training to law enforcement on compliance with the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA). These efforts aim to improve the tribe's ability to register, track, and monitor sex offenders within its jurisdiction to protect public safety.

The tribe will use AWA funds to enhance community awareness of SEX offenders residing in the jurisdiction and increase knowledge of offender registration requirements; enhance and expand collaboration with law enforcement and other criminal agencies on information sharing at state, local and federal levels; enter SEX offender registration information data with finger/palm prints into the TAP kiosk; and enhance law enforcement training on sorna requirements.
