During the search the officers were able to apprehend two offenders, one in Chelan County and one in Douglas County, two offenders turned themselves in to the sheriff’s office, one offender was located in a treatment center in Cowlitz County and will be arrested upon his release, and one offender was located in Benton County.  Officers will be attempting to apprehend him and one offender was located in Stevens County. Officers will be attempting to apprehend him.  Officers have been able to gather information the last five offenders and will continue searching for them.

The program will continue into the future provided, sustainable funding can be established in the upcoming legislative session.  In working with Governor Gregoire, her staff and the Executive Director of the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs, Don Pierce, it is our hope to continue funding to track and monitor sex offenders through out the State.  The county Sheriff’s have done their best to track these offenders but due to limited resources it has been difficult.
