Offender Registration
The Detective Bureau maintains registrations of offenders as required by state and federal laws and investigates registration and compliance violations. The Midwest City Police Department has two primary goals regarding sex and violent offender registration. Our first goal is to conduct and maintain registration of offenders as required by state laws. We do this by conducting random compliance checks at our registrant’s place of residency to ensure they are not violating any laws. Our second goal is to investigate registration violations of state laws and present charges to the Oklahoma County District Attorney’s office when appropriate.
