Sex Offender Alerts in Woodbridge
The Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office classifies each sex offender into a tier. That tier decides who in Woodbridge Township gets told.
Tier 3 is the highest risk. A law enforcement officer brings a notice to homes near the offender's address. In suburban Woodbridge, the Tier 3 radius is half a mile. The notice has the offender's name, photo, address, vehicle, and offense. Schools, day care centers, summer camps, and registered community organizations also receive it. For Tier 2 sex offenders, only schools and organizations within two miles get the alert. Schools that receive a Tier 2 notice cannot share the data with parents. For Tier 3, schools may mail the information to parents. Tier 1 notifications go to police only.
You can share the notice with people in your home. You can tell anyone caring for your children at your house. You cannot post or copy the notice. You cannot share it outside your household. Threats or violence against a sex offender will lead to arrest. Using registry data to commit a crime carries three to five years in prison and fines up to $15,000.
Note: Community organizations in Woodbridge Township can register with local police at no cost to receive Tier 2 and Tier 3 sex offender alerts.
