Map: Registered Sex Offenders Living in Troy
To help you keep your family protected as you go door-to-door this Halloween, here's a map of all the registered sex offenders in Troy.
After talking to our children all year about being safe and not talking to strangers, there's one day each year we send them out onto the streets and tell them to knock on strangers' doors.
Halloween is upon us, and Patch wants to help everyone stay safe.
So we've created this map of registered sex offenders in Troy so you can choose whose door to knock on and whose not to — especially if your family is trick-or-treating in a new neighborhood, with friends or at Grandma's house.
To check out your neighborhood, zoom in or out of the map above. Click on a flag to get a specific address.
Individuals committing several crimes are required to be listed as sex offenders under the Sex Offenders Registration Act, Act 295 of 1994, and are listed on the Michigan Public Sex Offender Registry (PSOR) website.
There are three tiers of crimes an individual can be listed under.
- Tier 1 offenders must register for 15 years and verify annually.
- Tier 2 offenders must register for 25 years and verify bi-annually.
- Tier 3 offenders must register for life and verify quarterly.
The Michigan State Police also have a system to send out an email alert when a registered sex offender moves near you.
To find out more information about the people listed in the map, and to see photos, visit the Michigan Public Sex Offender Registry.

Perhaps consider laws that criminally charge parents for lack of vigilance in being sure their children are safe. It might be a good idea to put the parents on a registry so people know not to associate with these irresponsible people.

My initial comment was absurd! But no more absurd than the sex offender registry.

The history of sex offender laws in the United States has been to react to rare, high profile, and heinous crimes, while ignoring the fact that sex offenders have one of the lowest recidivism rates of all offender groups in the criminal justice system. The myth of high recidivism is pervasive. A 2010 survey by the US Department of Justice found that 75 percent of the population believed that sex crime recidivism was greater than 50 percent while only 3 percent of the population believed that it was less than 25 percent — even though every major broad based study conducted over the last decade has shown it to be substantially below 25 percent.
