For the last view months I have been working on a project behind the scenes. If you are close to me then I’m sure you could not get me to shut up about it, but otherwise you may not have heard about this project. The reason for my secrecy is simple, I was not ready for it to be view by the mainstream yet. Besides, during this development process there were days when the site was unavailable, in fact, during the update process the site was unavailable for an amazing 45 minutes to an hour. This of course has been fixed in the live release.

DelawareOffenders.org is a public sex offender registry written with the express purpose of simplifying sex offender registry operations. With DelawareOffenders.org you can perform a search using Google-Like search syntax [Note - during development the results were compared to Google and they were actually equally accurate]. This allows for a more stream lined search experience.

The most well received tool on DelawareOffenders.org definitely has to be the area search engine. The area search engine allows users to search their area for known sex offenders using an intuitive mapping system. The user simply enters an address, school, college, or library that is important to them. The system then presents the user with a very easy to use mapping system displaying registered offenders within one mile of their query. The types of offender addresses included are the offender’s home, school, and work address. With all of this information available on an easy to use map families can protect their children and themselves better than ever.

I hope everyone enjoys this new service and it helps keep Delaware residents safe. I have already heard from an individual, working at a private school, that they used the registry to catch a sex offender attempting to enter their building. If you have any success stories with this registry please send them, I would love to read them and perhaps make a testimonial from your experience. Be Safe!
