Sexual Predators & Offenders

The City of Hollywood Police Department takes sexual predator notification and follow-up very seriously. If a designated sexual offender or predator moves into the City of Hollywood, a Hollywood Police Special Victims Detective will contact them immediately, as well conduct routine follow-up visits consistent with the provisions of state and federal standards such as the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act, Jacob Wetterling Crimes Against Children Registration Act, and Megan’s Law. The Hollywood Police Department maintains contact with the sexual offenders and predators as long as they reside within our city limits. You can find more information by reading the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act.. 

If you are aware of a designated sexual offender or predator that is residing within the City of Hollywood but has not registered their new address, or if you have knowledge of a sexual offender or predator that has moved out of the City of Hollywood without notifying law enforcement, please contact us immediately at 954.967.4411.  The Hollywood Police Criminal Investigations Division will conduct an immediate follow-up investigation to locate and/or file criminal charges against that person.  Anyone providing information can choose to remain anonymous.
