The connecticut department of emergency services and public protection will use funds to implement an offenderwatch ncic sync project

The Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Sex Offender Sentencing awarded $200,000 to the Connecticut Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection on March 1, 2026, under the Support for Adam Walsh Act Implementation Grant Program (CFDA 16.750) to implement an OffenderWatch NCIC SYNC project.

The project will develop a program that automatically transfers all data from Connecticut's state sex offender registry database and syncs sex offender records to the National Sex Offender Registry upon save, ensuring that all information from state offender records reaches NSOR/NCIC directly. Funding also supports training and conference attendance for sex offender registry personnel and covers temporary retired workers to address the backlog of open sex offender violations.

Performance runs through February 28, 2029, with work performed in Middletown, Connecticut. The Support for Adam Walsh Act Implementation Grant Program assists states in developing and enhancing programs designed to implement requirements of the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act, Title I of the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006.

Under this project, a program will be developed that will automatically transfer all data from the states SEX offender registry database and sync SEX offender records to nsor upon save. This will ensure that all information from state offender records is sent directly to nsor/ncic. Funds will also be used to provide training/conference attendance for SEX offender registry personnel and hire temporary retired workers to assist with the backlog of open SEX offender violations.
