Florida Sex Offenders
Florida State Law
In 1997, Florida became one of the first states to put information about sexual offenders and predators on the Internet through the passage of the Public Safety Information Act. This Act allowed the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to give public access to information important to their ability to protect themselves and their families against sexual offenders.
At the time the Public Safety Information Act passed, Florida had 471 sexual predators and approximately 8,000 sexual offenders listed in the database. Today, just three years later [year 2000], that number has grown to 2,300 predators and 17,000 offenders.
