Ocean County Prosecutor's Office awards CSI with the contract for a new Megan's Law Case Management System
December 15th, 2002
Keasbey, NJ, December 15, 2002 - Ocean County
has awarded CSI Technology Group with the contract to
develop a Megan's Law case management system. With the
new development, Ocean County arms the public with certain
information on the whereabouts of released offenders
so that local communities are aware of released offenders'
residences. The case management system will provide
the Prosecutor's Office with an efficient way
to manage released sex offenders, and will make the
mapping and notification process easier and more accurate.
Megan's Law is named after seven-year-old Megan Kanka,
a New Jersey girl who was killed by a known child molester
who had moved across the street from the family without
their knowledge. In the wake of the tragedy, the Kanka's
sought to have local communities warned about sex offenders
in the area.
On October 31, 1994, the New Jersey State Legislature
enacted the Registration and Community Notification
Laws (RCNL), also known as Megan's Law. The RCNL require
certain convicted sexual offenders to register with
law enforcement authorities and provide for community
notification depending upon the degree of risk that
these offenders will commit sexual crimes in the future.
The law also authorizes local law enforcement to notify
the public about high-risk and serious sex offenders
who reside in, are employed in, or frequent the community.
Each town will receive the offenders name and a recent
photograph, along with a physical description, offense
of which he or she was convicted, address, place of
employment and/or schooling and vehicle license plate.
CSI is pleased to contribute
to the community notification process by providing a
case management system, which helps law enforcement
officials track the location of released offenders.
