WCSO (Washoe County), RPD (Reno), SPD (Sparks) launch new registered sex offenders search portal

As of January 2026, Washoe County has launched a new OffenderWatch public portal and notification system to help residents monitor registered sex offenders in the Reno area, allowing users to search addresses, view maps, and receive email alerts. The Regional Sex Offender Notification Unit (RSONU) continues to track and arrest non-compliant offenders.

The system aims to enhance public safety by providing accessible information to the community.

Washoe County residents now have access to a tool to help monitor where registered sex offenders live. For more information and a link to the Regional Sex Offender Notification Unit search portal visit 2news.com or our free 2 News Nevada app. #crime #offenderwatch #search #police
