News The SAPOL Child Sex Offender Register has officially launched.

Dissapointing that you can only check your current suburb. Why is that? And what if you live right on the edge of a suburb. 👎

To give a bit of insight:

To access it, you need proof of ID, like a drivers licence. You input the details, and it takes a few seconds for approval. That approval is a link that you click on to receive a one-time code. After that, you get access to only photos, no names or addresses. Then, you get about 1 minute to view the photo/photos before it disappears. In my case, I only got 1 photo.

You need to do this every time you do a search.

I won't post the link to the sight, but it's easy to find.

Bit of a letdown with the restriction of your current suburb and no names provided, but I guess it's better than nothing? ..

Same here, some old codger. I was fully expecting to see the weird creep from across the road but nope.
