Community Notification Offenders
Although Deschutes County Adult Parole & Probation does supervise a number of female sex offenders, the majority of offenders under supervision for sexual offenses are male. Most sex offenders under supervision victimized a minor they knew. Common scenarios involve an adult male victimizing the children of family or friends, or engaging in consensual sexual contact with a minor. Offenders are required to complete a sex offender assessment and subsequent treatment program, as well as regular polygraphs during the period of supervision. We maintain a sex offender supervision and treatment team comprised of POs, treatment providers and polygraphers to staff offender issues, including notification to the community, if deemed appropriate.
