According to a state audit, Polk County’s sex offender registry has the highest rate of non-compliance in Missouri — 35 percent — but Sheriff Steve Bruce said more offenders are compliant than the audit indicates. State Auditor Susan Montee’s office completed an audit of Missouri’s 114 county-maintained sex offender registries as well as the City of St. Louis’ registry, finding that non-compliance improved from 36 percent in 2002 to 7 percent on March 31, 2010. The audit also reported that 17 of Polk County’s 48 registered sex offenders were non-compliant on that date. Bruce said there were and continue to be discrepancies between the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s registry and the county’s registry. “The Highway Patrol list shows people non-compliant that actually are compliant,” he said. “It’s kind of an accumulation, and I’m not saying some of it isn’t our fault, but we have never been anywhere near these types of figures, as far as non-compliancy.” Read More. |
