Does Maryland have a sex offender registry?
Yes. The Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services and local law enforcement agencies are required to provide a list of certain types of sex offenders maintained by the state to any person who submits a written request. Residents cannot make individual requests to see if their neighbor, for example, is a sex offender. More information, including an online registry of sex offenders, is available on the web site of the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services Sexual Offender Registry Unit at http://www.socem.info.
