OPPAGA – Sex Offender Registration and Monitoring Triennial Review – 2021 is out!
The Florida Office of Program Policy Analysis and Government Accountability (OPPAGA) studied the effectiveness of Florida’s sex offender registration process and public notification provisions and prepared their triennial report for 2021. Below is a link to the complete report, which we encourage you to read. We will update this post shortly with bullets from their findings.
This is just another waste of taxpayer resources that could be better spent on real needs like fixing roads and bridges. They could be using these tax dollars to help keep our fragile coral reefs clean. There’s a lot they could do rather than this justification for their precious state jobs.
The Registries keep people employed who society does not need to work elsewhere. We don’t have enough jobs where those kinds of people can work. It would be better if we just paid them not to work at all.
Wow
When FAC and others kept talking about Florida listing people who are not even in Florida anymore, I did not realize that made up almost 1/3 of all registered people in Florida.
“Non-Florida Residents 28,646”
Do those 28,646 people have to keep returning to Florida to re-register? And how do they pose harm someone if they do not live here? Don’t they say the registry is to protect the public? From who, someone many states away?

I’m one out of 28k non Florida residents that are on the Florida registry. Never again will I step foot in Florida I rather have my ass on fire than deal with Florida’s government. Do I sound mad? I am and I rather deal with PMS than the state you call home. F Florida!!
I would support any legislation that would give Floriduh to Cuba. Then we can build a border wall across the top of the state.
Having said that, I’m spending the weekend sharing a home with a Floriduh family that has no idea I am a PFR. We are having a great time. Just another example of the Registries super protecting the world.
Cherokee its like a gestapo order in much of this sexual defrauding type justice. So what is justice today? Using the sword in a backwards motion to cut of an ear. That’s about all one could say in this triangle of judus prudence issue.
CherokeeJ….
I am one of the 28,646……
I Plead to My Charge Out of Polk County…Given a 10 Year SO Probation Sentence….Thought it was TO BE Easy…Never Knew About SORNA et. al……Never Knew About Probation, Jail, etc…..
..Then The Monster Female PO Illegally Technically Violated ME and the Judge Sentenced me ti 24.5 months in Florida-Duh State Prison….(After Paying over $135K for this Experience!)…The Attorneys Sold ME OUT!
Upon My Release from the All Expenses Paid Vacation, I left FLori-Duh within 28 days and I am a Resident of a US Territory……And I am still counted as one of the 28,646
I only, ever Return to Flori-DUH for 71 hours per annum….to see My Mom and Kiss Her on the Cheek…..
4.7 million dollars to update their website and the LEO side for data entry/dissemination… !!!
Also, I spotted a false entry on their part…
“some supervised offenders are placed on electronic monitoring for enhanced monitoring and supervision.”
The word some should be replaced with most as the bulk of those on any type of s.o. supervision have the ankle bracelet. Also…
“Florida requires non-resident visitors to register if they are in the state for a period of three or more days in the aggregate during any calendar year.”
Did I miss yet another change in registration requirements? I don’t think I have read this in any of the current statutes. Just thought I’d point that out.
One more thing, regarding the justification of the electronic monitoring. The report states that it’s necessary to monitor and track a person and match their whereabouts at such and such time that a particular crime occurred. My question is this… Out of all those on the electronic supervision, how many have ever been connected to a new sex crime?
I know, we, the public, will probably never actually get an answer for this (although it would make for great information to illustrate how unnecessary it is for the majority of those on supervision who are required to wear the anklet).
That’s they problem, they don’t address whether these measures are effective.

As my ex wife, The Church Lady from SNL, use to say “Well isn’t that special?” 🙂 HAHAHA
SC
As We All Know, that CRIME EQUALS COMMERCE!
All The Grants, Funding Etc, Mainly ‘Employs’ the ‘Unemployable’.
The homeless numbers were interesting. A quick glance at some/most of the counties with zero homeless are, if not mistaken, low population centers. Volusia was at seven percent. BREVARD, which has been in the news had one of the highest. Yet there seems to be no discussion on how to reduce or eliminate homelessness, other than reincarnation.
That read like an informational brochure with suggestions for better reporting for colleges. It made not one statement on the actual “effectiveness” of anything. Seems to me the report is in violation of the statute!
that is very valid
Yes, as What Was Said Last Night By The FAC Media Lady, that the Posture Should Be on Empirical Data and Educating People in a Very Kind Professional Manner but never to let your guard down!…(of which I strive to do everyday but it is very difficult!)
Be a great read for those having troubles falling asleep. If I was a Florida taxpayer I’d be upset how my tax dollars are being spent. As a former Florida registrant I’m on your registry to boost more federal funding for LIFE and Death; which makes me angry. The state needs to be audited and sued six ways to Sunday costing the state hundreds of millions in damages. Maybe then Florida would stop being an embarrassment.
I don’t see why the excitement here. There’s nothing spectacular in their report, if you want to call it a report. It doesn’t make any statements that help us in any way. It’s really more like a infographic than anything else. Now if I saw some contradictory reporting in there that would be fantastic but there’s nothing like that at all.
