The Sheriff's Office manages the sex offender registry for King and Queen County. All registrations are processed in-house since the county has no separate municipal police department. New offenders who move into the county must report in person during business hours. Existing registrants who change addresses must report the change within three days. The Sheriff's Office coordinates all registration activity with the Virginia State Police.

Address verification is conducted regularly. Deputies check that listed addresses are current and accurate. Any offender found to be out of compliance is referred to the Commonwealth's Attorney for prosecution. The Sheriff's Office also handles court security for the King and Queen County courthouse, civil process services, and 911 dispatch for the entire county.

Because King and Queen County is rural and has no incorporated town with its own police, the Sheriff's Office is the only local law enforcement agency handling all sex offender registration duties. The office works with the Virginia State Police on any cases that require additional resources or technical assistance.

Virginia Sex Offender Registration Requirements

Virginia's sex offender registration law is in Virginia Code Title 9.1, Chapter 9. Three tiers exist based on the type of offense. Tier I offenders register once a year for 15 years. Tier II offenders register once a year for 25 years. Tier III offenders register every 90 days for life. The tier is set at sentencing and does not change after that.

Registration must occur within three days of release from custody or, if no jail time was ordered, within three days of sentencing. Address changes must be reported within three days. New email addresses or online usernames must be reported within 30 minutes. The full statutory requirements are available at law.justia.com/codes/virginia/title-9-1/chapter-9.

Failing to register is a Class 1 misdemeanor for Tier I and Tier II offenders. For Tier III, it is a Class 6 felony. Tier III offenders may not live, work, or loiter within 500 feet of any school or daycare center in Virginia.

Note: The rural character of King and Queen County does not change what the law requires. Registration rules are the same here as in every other Virginia county.

What the Registry Shows for King and Queen County Offenders

Each entry in the Virginia Sex Offender Registry shows the person's full legal name, current home address, date of birth, a photo from the most recent registration, and the offense that required registration. The tier level and next check-in date are also shown.

With only 15 to 20 registered offenders, the King and Queen County portion of the registry is small. But each listing carries the same details as entries from more populous counties. Transient offenders show a general area or last known location. If an address looks outdated, the offender may have failed to report a change. That is a violation. Report it to the VSP at (804) 674-2825.

The National Sex Offender Public Website (NSOPW) allows searches across all 50 states. If someone recently moved to King and Queen County from another state, NSOPW can help you check whether they had a prior registration. Free and open to the public.
