| The new Campus Sex
Crimes Prevention Act beginning in 2002 requires states to ask every
registered sex offender if they are enrolled at or employed by a
college or university. In addition, pursuant to RCW 9A.44.130, any
such adult or juvenile offender who is admitted to a public or
private institution of higher education shall, within ten days of
enrolling or by the first business day after arriving at the
institution, whichever is earlier, notify the sheriff for the county
of the person's residence of the person's intent to attend the
institution. Students and employees can find out information about
registered sex offenders in their area through the King County Sheriff's Office website.

Members of the SPU community can find out information
about registered sex offenders (if any) enrolled at or employed by
SPU by calling the Seattle Police Department, Sex and Kidnapping
Registration Detail (SPD) at (206) 684-5332. At this time, SPD has
the most current information regarding registered sex offenders
within the City of Seattle. SPD will be able to tell you whether
there are any registered sex offenders enrolled at or employed by
SPU, but may decide not to provide you the identity of any Level 1
offenders unless you demonstrate a need to know, or provide a
specific name to be checked.
