Lisa Harlow, Sex and Violent Offender Registry Coordinator for the LaPorte County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) is being recognized for her role in overseeing the county’s registered sex and violent offenders. Later this week, OffenderWatch will recognize Harlow for excellence in meeting the sex offender registry (SOR) objectives and including a high level of descriptive information in offender records, which helps improve critical investigations. Harlow ensures complete, accurate and comprehensive offender records; tracks offenders moving in and out of the county; and promotes interagency cooperation with the U.S. Marshals Service investigating and locating absconded offenders.
The LCSO uses OffenderWatch, the nation’s leading sex offender registry management partner, to keep track of registered sex offenders, often using the system to aid in investigations and proactively improve public safety. Harlow was one of 58 chosen to receive the award out of 15,000 OffenderWatch users from more than 4,000 agencies.
“We are extremely proud of Lisa for being among the Top .4% of OffenderWatch users,” said Sheriff John T. Boyd. “She has continually worked behind the scenes to manage and coordinate all of the sex offender registrants in La Porte County. Her innovative and efficient use of the network saves our agency many hours and is an excellent example of the quality of service she gives daily.”
