Sexual Predator Offender Tracking (S.P.O.T.)
The Orlando Police Department has taken active measures to help ensure the safety of our citizens with respect to sexual offenders and sexual predators. Working closely with the Department of Corrections, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, the State Attorney’s Office, other local and state law enforcement agencies, as well as community organizations, the Orlando Police Department Sexual Predator Offender Tracking (S.P.O.T.) carefully monitors the activities of those sexual offenders and sexual predators who reside within the City of Orlando.
If you have or require information concerning a suspected sexual offender or sexual predator, you may search for information regarding that person via the links to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement provided below. Also, you may contact someone from S.P.O.T. at (407) 246-2425, or (407) 246-3715.
Definitions:
A Florida law, effective 7/1/96, requires the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to maintain an updated list of registered sexual predators in this state after a court has made a written finding designating them as a sexual predator as that term is defined by Florida statute.
Florida Statute 943.0435, created by Ch. 97-299, Laws of Florida, requires certain sexual offenders to register with the state, with the information to be provided to FDLE and made available to the public. This site provides you with public information regarding registered sexual offenders as law defines that term for the purposes of registration requirements.
Under Chapter 119, Florida Statutes, the Public Records Law, any of the public records of the Department of Law Enforcement are available for review upon request, subject to statutorily authorized editing of exempt or confidential information.
FDLE has also established a toll-free number (1-888-FL-PREDATOR) or (1-888-357-7332) that allows the public to request information 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, about sexual predators living in their communities and around the state.
Who is a sexual offender?
Any person convicted of committing, attempting, conspiring or soliciting to commit any of specifically designated Florida state statutes or analogous offenses in another jurisdictions. Additionally, who is released on or after October 1, 1997, from the sanction imposed by reason of conviction of his or her sexual offender offense.
While a sexual offender is on supervised probation or any other court sanction, he or she must abide by those conditions listed on the court order. These sanctions may include residency restrictions such as 1,000 feet from any daycare, school, or playground. If the sexual offender is not on supervised probation or any other court sanction, he or she may live anywhere and is not restricted in anyway unless they commit another crime.
Who is a sexual predator?
There are two ways of becoming a sexual predator:
One way is to commit (on or after October 1, 1993) one of the qualifying “one is enough” sexual predator offenses. The second is to commit a “second strike” sexual predator offense (on or after October 1, 1993) after having previously been found to have committed one or more of certain other sexual offenses.
In either instance, a written finding designating the qualifying individual as a “sexual predator” must be issued from the court to establish the designation of “sexual predator.”
In order to be counted as the prior offense, the felony must have resulted in a conviction sentenced separately, prior to the current offense and sentenced separately from any other felony conviction that is to be counted as a prior felony. If the offender’s prior enumerated felony was committed more than 10 years before the primary offense, it shall not be considered a prior felony if the offender has not been convicted of any other crime for a period of 10 consecutive years from the most recent date of release from confinement, supervision, or sanction, whichever is later.
