The first steps in beginning to educate your family and friends about abduction prevention and awareness is researching your very own neighborhood for offenders.  Knowing who and where they are located gives you an upper hand and helps you recognize them if they are at parks or near schools.

Do You Know Your Neighbors?
I mean, REALLY - Do you know your neighbors?  Just put in your address & your neighborhood map will pop up.   Every place you see a red balloon or thumb tack is the home of a  convicted felon.  Just hover your mouse over an icon & not only will the name come up, but  also the crime they were convicted of.

The National Alert Registry
https://www.nationalalertregistry.com/  this site has pictures and information of offenses and addresses. ( It is not recommended to contact these individuals yourself)

After viewing the web sites for registered offenders and you find that one is very near your home or school what should you do?  Finding this out can be very unsettling and scary.  We here at SAFETYN will contact them on your behalf. Or assist you in developing a letter that will alert them that you are aware that they are in your neighborhood.  Which often will lower the chances of incidents.
