The California Sex Offender Management Board (CAOSMB) met today and during that meeting several reports were presented that reflected both an increase in the number of petitions filed, a decrease in the number of persons required to register and other information. Below is a chart listing those and other statistics presented during today’s meeting.

The next CASOMB meeting is scheduled for November 14, 2024 in Sacramento. Additional information regarding that meeting is available at www.casomb.org.
It would be interesting if the chart above could show how many people there are who committed ONE single misdemeanor in their entire life and who are listed as Tier 3 and forced to register FOR LIFE! That would make for some compelling reading, I bet!
I’d love to know why petitions are being denied.
I really don’t see the actual # of registrants ever reducing. Sure, the courts will grant petitions, but the LEOs and DAs will keep the coffers full by replenishing the registry with new convictions. They know where their bread is buttered and aren’t about to throw away this cash cow. ( too many metaphors?)
