In accordance with the federal Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act, registered sex offenders now are required to register the name and address of any college at which he or she is a student or employee.

The New York State Division of Criminal Justice maintains a registry of convicted sex offenders and informs the law school's chief security officer of the presence on campus of a registered sex offender as a student or employee.

You may contact the law school's chief security officer, Steve Katz, Director of Campus Security, Health and Safety, room 117, phone 718-340-4271, to obtain information about Level 2 or Level 3 registered sex offenders on campus.

To obtain information about Level 3 offenders, you may contact the Division’s registry website at www.criminaljustice.state.ny.us/nsor/sor_about.htm and then click on "Search Level 3 Subdirectory" or access the directory at the law school's campus security office or police precinct.

To obtain information about Level 2 offenders, you need to contact the campus security office, local police precinct in which the offender resides or attends college, or the Division’s sex offender registry at 800-262-3257.
