Sheriff’s Badge President’s Message

2024 President Sheriff Daniel Mawhorr of Adams County

Words cannot express how honored and humbled I am to be the newly elected Indiana Sheriffs’ Association President. Stepping into this new role, I am reminded of the profound responsibility that comes with our title. As we know, being a Sheriff is not just a job title; it is a commitment to safeguarding the values and well-being of our communities. My new role in supporting 91 Indiana Sheriffs in their mission to serve and protect their communities is not one I take lightly.

Sheriff’s Badge Sex & Violent Offender Registry

The registry will allow you to choose a county in Indiana and enter any local address in that county.

It will then provide a list of all registered county sex offenders living within a one-mile radius within the boundaries of the county selected. If you are looking for information about a particular sex offender registered in that county, the registry can help there as well.

This information is meant to educate you about offenders in a county. It has not been made available for you to take action against any individual. Any action against an offender which is determined to be a violation of law will subject the violator to arrest and prosecution. Please report all information on offenders directly to the office within that county. Refer to the Sheriff Contact Map to speak to Sex Offender Registry Coordinator within a specific county.
