Between May 19th and May 30th, 2025, the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office conducted a sex offender registration compliance sweep throughout the County of Humboldt. Representatives from the Arcata Police Department, Rio Dell Police Department, Humboldt County District Attorney’s Office and State Parole assisted during the operation.
During compliance sweeps, law enforcement attempts to contact registered sex offenders in Humboldt County to ensure each offender is following their registration requirements. Pursuant to California Penal Code 290, sex offender registrants are required to register in person with the law enforcement agency that has jurisdiction where they reside. The registrants must also comply with several registration requirements, such as updating their registration annually and informing law enforcement when any changes have been made to their address or registration information. Failure by a sex registrant to keep law enforcement notified of an address change or registration information is a crime and can be punished as a felony or misdemeanor.
As of June 6th, 2025, there are 375 registered sex offenders in Humboldt County. Of the 375 registered sex offenders in Humboldt County, 46 of those offenders are registered as transient. During the compliance sweep, 317 registrants were determined to be in compliance, 23 registrants were suspected of being out of compliance, 28 were unable to be contacted, 2 offenders were currently incarcerated and 4 were discovered to be deceased. Additionally, 7 arrests were made during the operation. Investigators are completing follow up investigations into those found to be out of compliance and anticipate additional arrest warrants to be submitted to the Humboldt County District Attorney’s Office. Please keep in mind, those that were unable to be contacted do not necessarily mean they are out of compliance. Often, the compliance sweep takes place on weekdays during work hours, and it is expected that some registrants may not be home during those times.
As per janice… REMEMBER if you arent on parole/prob, if the THUGS come to your address you are NOT REQUIRED to TALK to them or EVEN ANSWER your door. !! I followed janice’s advice and they finally quit coming to ‘check’ on me (now as to why im not sure because I dont cooperate, or maybe funding cuts, or I put up privacy screen so they cant even see onto my property, not sure. But I dont entertain thier visits and actually there is NOTHING in PC290 that says they have the ‘laws permission’ to VISIT you to make sure you are ‘compliant’ if you arent on prob/parole. The COPS that come out to ‘check’ on PFR’s are plain SCUM ‘looking’ to make someone a crime statistic. They will FISH etc… do NOT ENTERTAIN the GOON SQUAD by answering the door/talking to them if you arent ‘on paper’ (aka parole/prob in CALIFORNIA !!).
Suspected of being out of compliance.WOW! Is that like,” I pulled you over because I THINK you might have made an illegal right hand turn last week”? Since when did we start harassing folks because we think we knew their intentions.
See, the registry worked…right? /Sarc
” keep in mind that those who were unable to be contacted does not mean they are out of compliance. Most of these sweeps happen during weekdays, during work hours, and it is expected that some registrants may not be at home.”
No ship Sherlock, but massaging your bloated egos is more important than leaving registrants and their families the Hell alone.
