How Safe Is Great Falls From Sex Offenders?

Is Great Falls safe from sex offenders? From the report from Great Falls PD, it sure looks like it is! Statistically speaking at least.

Out of 232 total offenders, just 8 individuals were non-compliant or had active arrest warrants according to their data. That's only 3.4% and that's not necessarily on the fault of law enforcement anyway; it's up to the offenders to follow the rules.

Considering that, that's a pretty solid number. Even then, authorities are actively taking next steps to round up those 8.

Continuing with the numbers, 199 total were in compliance with 18 others incarcerated, six who moved out of the county, and one who is deceased.

Law Enforcement Appreciation

People can say what they want about law enforcement but as a parent who does his best to keep his eyes on his kiddos and keep them safe, it's nice to know we have law enforcement helping us out, watching our backs.
