What Is OffenderWatch® Live?

Proven Registry Management, Built for Today

OffenderWatch® Live (OWL) is the browser-based version of OffenderWatch®, the registry management and community notification platform used by law enforcement agencies nationwide. It supports offender registration and verification, NCIC transaction processing, document management, investigative notes and tips, and automated community notification.

With a secure, browser-based architecture, OWL eliminates the need for locally installed software, reduces the burden on IT departments, and enables authorized personnel to access the system securely from any compatible device. For agencies already on OffenderWatch®, it is the system your team knows, now faster and easier to maintain.
