The Crawford County Sheriff’s Department is releasing the following information pursuant to Section 13 of Act 989 of 1997. The sex and child offender registration and community notification guidelines promulgated by the commission of child abuse, rape and domestic violence, which authorizes law enforcement agencies to inform the public of a sex offender’s release when the release of such information will enhance the public safety and protection.
The individuals who appear on this web site have been convicted of a sex offense that requires registration with the Arkansas Crime Information Center. Further, their criminal history places them at a classification level that reflects the potential to be a repeat offender.

There are approximately 150 registered sex offenders living Crawford County (includes all cities in the county) at any one time. The offenders listed on this web site are only level 2, 3 or level 4 offenders which require public notification. Offenders living in Van Buren and Alma, are not listed on this site.
