There are several ways to check the city of Corpus Christi for registered sex offenders.

The OffenderWatch Network is the most extensive sex offender registry system in the U.S., working with more than 3,400 local, state and federal law enforcement agencies in 36 states.

Founded in 2000 in Covington, La. under the Watch Systems company, OffenderWatch has expanded to include data on registered sex offenders from sheriffs’ offices, police departments, Attorney Generals’ offices, U.S. Marshal judicial districts, U.S. attorneys, federal and state probation and parole agents, department of corrections, Indian tribes, and more.

The network delivers greater efficiency with technology, policy, and procedure regarding sex offender monitoring and community notification.

"The employee here that is responsible for maintaining accurate information for the registered sex offenders in Corpus Christi says she finds this website to be valuable," said CCPD Lt. J.C. Hooper.

There are more than 90,000 registered sex offenders in Texas, and sheriff’s offices and police departments across the state have partnered with OffenderWatch, the nation’s leading sex offender registry network.
