Sex Offender Registry and Compliance

To ensure transparency and the safety of the Knoxville community, the Knoxville Police Department has a detective dedicated to overseeing the compliance of all registered sex offenders who reside in the City of Knoxville.

The Sex Offender Registry Detail also conducts sex offender compliance checks on a regular basis throughout the year. 

Registered sex offenders from other jurisdictions or states are required by law to report to KPD during business hours from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday within 48 hours of arriving in Knoxville. Appointments can be made by calling or emailing the Sex Offender Registry detective.
