In accordance with US Code Title 42, Section 14071, Part. (b)(3)(B) all offenders are required to be verified every 90 days after date of the initial release or commencement of parole.  

Monroe Municipal Code 6.06 sets forth residency restrictions involving sex offenders.

It is the policy of the Monroe Police Department to conduct checks on offenders residing inside the city limits every 30 days if possible but not exceeding 90 days.

For details on notifications for Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 offenders, visit the Classification and Notification webpage. 

The Monroe Police Department is authorized to release information to the public regarding sex offenders when it can determine that the disclosure of the information is relevant and necessary to protect the public and counteract the danger created by the particular offender. 

The State of Washington has strict laws that govern the information that can be disclosed about registered sex offenders. The extent of public disclosure of relevant and necessary information shall be rationally related to the level of risk posed by the offender to the community; location where the offender resides or intends to reside; and the needs of the affected community members for information to enhance their individual and collective safety.
