The Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office and the U.S. Marshal’s Fugitive Task Force conducted a Sex and Violent Offender Verification detail today.

The purpose of the detail was to do a surprise check on the validity of reported addresses and other information provided by individuals currently registered with the Vanderburgh County’s Sex and Violent Offender Registry. The verification sweep was conducted in addition to regular checks that are conducted throughout the year.
