North Dakota Sex Offender Website To Get Overhaul

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Attorney General's Office is using a $30,000 federal grant to further improve its sex offender website.

Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem tells KXMB-TV the state has spent almost a quarter of a million dollars improving the site launched 12 years ago to keep residents informed about the identity and whereabouts of convicted sex offenders.

He says the new money will pay for upgrades such as multiple mapping features, for sex offenders who have more than one residence. The site also will show where offenders go to school or where they work.
