Electronic Sex Offender Registration & Notification (eSORN)

Online: eSORN

 

This database is linked to all 88 of Ohio's sheriff's offices and all 32 correctional facility records offices operated by the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction. The purpose of eSORN is to provide one location for all of Ohio's law enforcement officials to freely share information on registered sex offenders. Some portions of this database are also open to private citizens who want to be aware of sex offenders who live close to their home or their child's school.

VINE (Victim Information & Notification Everyday) is a free, anonymous, computer-based service that provides anyone - victims, family members, neighbors, advocates, law enforcement, prosecutors, judges, and the general public - access to the custody status of offenders in Ohio's jails, state prisons, and the Department of Youth Services facilities.  VINE can also be used to receive telephonic or e-mail notification if there is a change in an offender's custody status.  VINE will soon be able to provide notification for the DRC parole and supervised release process
