Greece Sex Offender Lookup

Greece sex offenders are monitored by the Greece Police Department and the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services. This Monroe County suburb of Rochester works with the Monroe County Sheriff's Office to track all registered sex offenders in the town. Residents can search for Level 2 and Level 3 sex offenders online through the state registry at no cost.

Greece Police and Sex Offender Monitoring

The Greece Police Department is the primary law enforcement agency for sex offender monitoring in the town. You can reach them at 585-225-4231. Officers verify addresses of registered sex offenders in Greece and work with DCJS to keep registry data accurate. When a Level 2 or Level 3 sex offender moves into Greece, the police department notifies schools, daycare centers, and other organizations serving vulnerable populations as required by Correction Law Section 168-l.

The Monroe County Sheriff's Office also assists with sex offender monitoring across the county. Greece and the Sheriff's Office coordinate when sex offenders move between the town and other parts of Monroe County. The Monroe County District Attorney's Office handles SORA risk level hearings for sex offenders who will live in Greece after conviction or release from incarceration. This ensures that every sex offender in Greece has a court-assigned risk level.

Level 3 sex offenders in Greece must verify their address every 90 days in person at the Greece Police Department. If the offender's appearance has changed, officers may take a new photo and send it to the state registry. Level 2 sex offenders do not have the 90-day check but must report any address change within 10 days. Both levels face felony charges for non-compliance. The Greece Police Department follows up on all missed verifications.

How to Search for Sex Offenders in Greece

Greece does not maintain its own sex offender database. All searches go through the NYS Sex Offender Registry online directory. You can search by last name, county, ZIP code, or view all sex offenders in Monroe County. The search is free and available 24 hours a day. Results show photos, addresses, convictions, vehicle info, and conditions of supervision for each listed sex offender in Greece.

Only Level 2 and Level 3 sex offenders show up in the online directory. State law keeps Level 1 sex offenders off the public website. To check if someone is a Level 1 sex offender in Greece, call the registry at 1-800-262-3257. You need the person's name and one identifier: an exact address, date of birth, driver's license number, or Social Security number. The phone line runs from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. You can also call the Greece Police at 585-225-4231 for local questions about sex offenders in the town.

Greece residents can sign up with NY-ALERT for free notifications when a Level 2 or Level 3 sex offender moves into or out of the area. You can register up to three locations by ZIP code, municipality, or specific address. Alerts come by email, text, or fax. This service has been active since March 2010 and covers only sex offenders in the public subdirectory.

Sex Offender Risk Levels in Greece

Every sex offender in Greece gets a risk level set by a judge after a court hearing. The judge looks at the case facts: use of force, victim age, number of victims, and weapon involvement. Two sex offenders convicted of the same crime can end up with different risk levels. The process follows the Sex Offender Registration Act in Correction Law Article 6-C.

Level 1 is low risk. These sex offenders register for 20 years unless they have a special designation. Address info is limited to ZIP code. Level 2 is moderate risk. Full address is public. Level 3 is high risk and a threat to public safety. Full address is public, and Level 3 sex offenders must verify their address every 90 days in person with the Greece Police. Level 2 and Level 3 sex offenders are listed in the online subdirectory.

A judge can also designate a sex offender as a sexual predator, sexually violent offender, or predicate sex offender. Any designation means lifetime registration no matter the risk level. Level 1 sex offenders without a designation register for 20 years. All Level 2 and Level 3 sex offenders register for life. Under Correction Law Section 168-o, a Level 2 offender registered for at least 30 years with no designation can petition for relief from registration.

Sex Offender Registration Rules in Greece

Sex offenders in Greece must register with DCJS at sentencing. The court certifies the person as a sex offender and sends the form to DCJS. The data goes into the registry database. DCJS then forwards the info to the Greece Police Department. For sex offenders leaving jail or prison, the Board of Examiners of Sex Offenders reviews the case at least 120 days before release and recommends a risk level to the court 60 days before the release date.

All registered sex offenders in Greece must report address changes within 10 days. They must also report internet accounts, email addresses, and screen names to DCJS under the Electronic Security and Targeting of Online Predators Act. Failure to register or verify is an E felony for a first offense and a D felony for any later offense. Non-compliance can also result in parole or probation revocation for sex offenders under supervision in Greece.

Community Notification for Greece Sex Offenders

The Greece Police Department maintains a list of vulnerable organizations in the town. When a Level 2 or Level 3 sex offender moves into Greece, police notify schools, daycare centers, libraries, school bus companies, neighborhood watch groups, community centers, nursing homes, victim advocacy organizations, and places of worship. The notification scope depends on the sex offender's risk level, with Level 3 sex offenders getting the broadest disclosure.

For Level 2 sex offenders, the Greece Police can share the offender's photo, name, aliases, address, conviction details, and mode of operation with relevant entities. Level 3 sex offenders are listed in the online subdirectory as well. Greece residents who want real-time alerts about sex offender activity in the area should sign up for NY-ALERT through the DCJS website.

Where Sex Offenders Can Live in Greece

SORA does not restrict where sex offenders can live in Greece. There are no statewide buffer zones around schools or parks for registered sex offenders. The Court of Appeals ruled that local governments cannot create their own sex offender residency restrictions. The Sexual Assault Reform Act bars certain sex offenders from entering school grounds or living within 1,000 feet of school grounds when the victim was under 18 or the offender is Level 3. Sex offenders on parole or probation may have additional case-specific conditions set by their supervising officer.
