Federal legislation known as the Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act requires states to obtain information concerning registered sex offenders enrolled or employed at institutions of higher education and make this information available to the institution’s police department, campus safety or other appropriate law enforcement agency having jurisdiction where the institution is located. The Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) has been designated as the state agency that will provide this information to the institutions of higher education in Kansas. It is the responsibility of local law enforcement to notify institutions if an offender or predator is enrolled, employed or carrying on a vocation at the college or university. In accordance with Kansas State Statute 22-4904 (“Registration of Offender”), convicted sex offenders in Kansas must register with the county sheriff within 3 days of establishing permanent or temporary residence. Any member of the Hesston College community who wishes to obtain information regarding sexual offenders on campus may refer to the KBI website searchable database (http://www.kbi.ks.gov/registeredoffender/). The KBI searchable database may be used to find all registered sex offenders in any city, county or ZIP code in the state.
