Hood River, Ore. – A multi-agency operation consisting of the Hood River County Sheriff’s Office, the United States Marshal Service and the Oregon State Police recently conducted a registered sex offender compliance sweep in Hood River County, resulting in enforcement action against 6 registered sex offenders.

The sweep was conducted throughout the day on Thursday, the 11th of April, 2019. Law enforcement officers attempted compliance checks on 76 registered sex offenders to ensure compliance with registration requirements. Of the 89 sex offenders registered in Hood River County, 8 were non- compliant, resulting in arrest, citation or warning on 6 offenders. The remaining 2 were verified as non-compliant but not located, likely due to moving out of state.

HRCSO is grateful for the assistance of the U.S. Marshals Service, who has implemented an aggressive enforcement strategy across the nation, including the coordination of multiagency enforcement operations. We are also grateful for the Oregon State Police Sex Offender Registration Section for their support. These multi-agency operations are vital to the safety of Hood River County residents.
