(Deming) – The Luna County Sheriff’s Department recently participated in a statewide operation – dubbed Operation Complete Clean-Up – to verify that sex offenders residing in Luna County were in compliance with applicable federal and state law.
Officials said the compliance checks included verifications of places of residence, work, and school locations if the offender was attending a post-secondary educational program.
Sheriff’s Lieutenant Joy Mullins said the local address verifications showed all registered sex offenders within Luna County were complying with legal requirements with the exception of one absconder, and a warrant has been issued for his arrest.
She said there are approximately 40 offenders residing in Luna County who are required by law to register.
Mullins added that although all addresses were current with Sheriff’s Department records, the state website needed updating
for several Luna County registrants, which was done.
Reportedly, random operations of this type are conducted throughout the 33 counties and tribal lands each year to ensure that
offenders convicted of sex crimes which require them to register are in compliance with the Sex Offender Registry.
