Multi-Agency City Wide Sex Offender Sweep Conducted
- 04/15/26
On Thursday, April 9, 2026 the Albany Police Department conducted a multi-agency law enforcement operation in Albany. We identified significant compliance issues among registered sex offenders during a coordinated sweep targeting 182 individuals. The effort, conducted by local, state, and federal partners, found that 105 offenders were in compliance, while 40 were non-compliant and 37 could not be located. When combined with additional administrative checks, a total of 285 compliance reviews revealed 149 compliant offenders, 99 non-compliant, and 37 with unknown status. Investigators also determined that many individuals were no longer in the area, including those who were deceased, incarcerated, or living out of state.
The operation resulted in 21 enforcement actions, including arrests, citations, warnings, and warrants served. Officials noted particular concern with inaccurate address reporting, especially among individuals listing a local shelter as their residence. The sweep focused on higher-risk offenders, including repeat offenders, those with prior violations, and individuals not previously checked in earlier operations, with the goal of improving registry accuracy and enhancing public safety.
Every effort is made to confirm sex offenders are in compliance with the law and ensure offenders are complying with the condition of their registration requirements. We would like to thank our partners, the United States Marshals Service, Oregon State Police Albany and Springfield Offices, the Sex Offender Registration Section and the Linn County Parole & Probation Office for their assistance and collaboration in making our community a safer place.
