2025 President Sheriff Robert Goldsmith of Tippecanoe County

Dear Fellow Sheriffs, Deputies, and Supporters of Law Enforcement,

As we step into the new year of 2025, I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you for your unwavering dedication, commitment, and support to the Indiana Sheriffs’ Association (ISA). This organization stands as a testament to the professionalism and strength of our law enforcement community, and it is your hard work, passion, and service that truly makes a difference every day.

Serving as your president is both an honor and a responsibility I take to heart. Over the past year, we have faced challenges and triumphs alike, but through it all, our shared sense of purpose has remained unshaken. Our role as sheriffs and law enforcement officers goes beyond simply enforcing the law; we are community leaders, protectors, and trusted partners in the ongoing effort to create safer, stronger neighborhoods. It is through this dedication that we continue to shape the future of public safety in Indiana.

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.
