On Sunday evening October 25, 2015 the Scott County Sex Offender Task Force began home compliance checks for all Scott County registered sex offenders. The purpose of the home checks was to verify that the offender resided at the address listed on the Iowa Sex Offender Registry and that all registry requirements were being complied with.

The compliance checks continued throughout the week and were completed today, Thursday, October 29, 2015. The following are results of the home compliance checks:

Number of sex offenders checked: 360
Number of sex offenders who's residency was compliant: 332 (92%)
Number of sex offenders found to be non- compliant: 12
Total number of follow-up investigations yet needed to determine residency compliance: 16

The follow-up investigations will determine if the offender resides at the registered address they have provided. Those found to be non-compliant will result in an arrest warrant being issued for their arrest.

The agencies that participated in the home compliance checks included the Scott County Sheriff's Office, Bettendorf and Davenport Police Departments, Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI), Department of Correctional Services (DOC), Department of Human Services (DHS), Scott County Attorney's Office, Scott Emergency Communication Center (SECC) and the Iowa Sex Offender Registry.
