Search of Niagara County Sheriff's Office information

It appears from the information available on their website that the Niagara County Sheriff's Department may maintain their own registry of sex offenders.  I have not confirmed the information available there is simply a subset of the NY State or Federal database, but it is mentioned that information is made available immediately as it becomes available to Niagara County Sheriffs, which is in contradiction to the representative of the state office who indicated there is a 10 day window before updates are made available by NYS.

Regardless, here are links providing information to sex offenders in Niagara County, and specifically to the Emily Lane, Lockport NY area.

The Niagara County Sheriff's Office website can be found at: http://www.niagarasheriff.com/.

The Niagara County Sheriff's Office Sex Offender Management page(s) can be found at: http://www.niagarasheriff.com/sexoffendermanagement.aspx  This page outlines the inspiration, history of and even funding of the efforts of the Niagara County Sheriff's efforts.

The actual search criteria used to produce the screen captures shown here is: http://www.icrimewatch.net/results.php?AgencyID=54113&whichaddr=&SubmitAddrSearch=1&AddrStreet=6574+emily+lane&AddrCity=Lockport%20&AddrState=33&AddrZip=14094&AddrZipPlus=&excludeIncarcerated  The address used as a starting point is that indicated in the mailer distributed throughout the Emily Lane area.

Although some individuals in the search results do not have specific addresses associated with them, the resulting map indicates they are primarily concentrated in the mobile home communities and apartments in the Transit Road / Robinson Road / Old Beatie Road / Rapids Road area.

It is important to note the individual in the distributed mailer is not a search result.  Although the county tax database indicates he is an owner of the property, the Niagara County Sheriffs do not indicate he is living at the property. 

The mailer indicates he was witnessed at the property 100% of the times surveyed.

Call to NYS Division of Criminal Justice

The 1-800-262-3257 number found in the mailer distributed around the Emily Lane, Lockport NY area directs you to the NY State Department of Criminal Justice.  Selecting option 2 from their automated attendant provides access to sex offender information.  The prompt provides background on what services they can provide and directs you to perform searches yourself of the NY State website and database, as opposed to the national one found in the mailer.

The web address for the NY State Department of Criminal Justice is http://criminaljustice.state.ny.us

From there, you can choose the Sex Offender option from the main menu bar at the top to perform searches.  I have found you can also simply enter a name in the search field to the right on the main page, and the site will direct you to the Sex Offender database search tool.

Screen captures of the website providing information regarding the person in question are shown here.

Here you see the current residence of the person in question is listed as 35 Joseph Street in Cheektowaga, rather than Emily Lane in Lockport.

Here we learn that the address of the offender found in the national database is the same as the one where he is officially registered with NY state.  The individual answering the phone at the NYS Division of Criminal Justice indicates that the NY state database is updated at least every 10 days.  Therefore, we can conclude that the residence of this individual should indeed be 35 Joseph Street in Cheektowaga.
