Intelius Is on the Lookout for Sex Offenders
Bellevue-based Intelius, Inc. is a public records company that provides information-based products and services that ensure the safety and peace of mind of its more than 6 million clients. One of these service suites is Intellius’ Neighborhood Check. Among things such as background check services, the product also presents clients with detailed area sex offender reports.
The report consists of data about neighbors, income statistics as well as crime statistics as well as a whole range of property details that include sales history, estimated value, previous owners, lot size, and home size. The aforementioned Neighborhood Check sex offender section comprises an interactive map that identifies the whereabouts of the sex offender and their nearness to the abode along with photos of the offender, physical descriptions and information of their other offenses.
In the nation’s sex offender registry, there are about 500,000 sex offenders listed, most of whom reside in neighborhoods. According to the US Department of Justice, sex offenders are four times more prone to be arrested for sex offenses after being rleased from custody as compared to non-sex offenders. This makes the need for a comprehensive sex offender report more critical for the security and peace of mind of children, parents and other community members.
Intellius’ Neighborhood Check will be further enhanced with an alert option, enabling customers to sign up to receive email alerts regularly.
“At Intelius, our mindset remains that an informed, aware consumer is a safe consumer, and our products reflect that theme of providing information for personal safety,” said Naveen Jain, CEO at Intelius. “Our Neighborhood Check and Sex Offender Report are clear indications of our goal to continue innovating products that help our customers stay as engaged as possible with the world around them so they can protect their loved ones and make intelligent decisions every day.”
