In 2010, the United States Marshals Service (USMS) in the Middle District of Pennsylvania initiated Operation Safety Net to verify the home addresses of Megan’s Law registrants and to ensure that those found out of compliance were investigated and prosecuted.
More than 6,000 unannounced compliance checks within the 33 counties that comprise the Middle District of Pennsylvania were completed since that time, and more than 150 Megan’s law violators were arrested.
"This operation took place this past week to insure our registered sex offenders in our area are in compliance with all federal, state and local regulations and statutes," said Chief Guajardo, "The joint operation was a success and the operation is a joint effort by our law enforcement agencies to protect our community."
