WA gov announces $8 million sex offender tracking plans
TACOMA, Wash. (AP) -- In a neighborhood still reeling from the kidnapping and killing of a 12-year-old girl last summer, Gov. Chris Gregoire on Wednesday announced an $8.2 million plan to boost sex offender monitoring around the state. Gregoire's public safety package is dominated by a $5 million grant program that would pay law enforcement agencies to conduct in-person visits with sex offenders. Low-risk offenders would get annual checkups under the plan, with the highest-risk sex criminals being seen four times a year. Smaller pieces in Gregoire's sex-crime package include a $920,000 plan to expand satellite-based offender tracking and a $320,000 project to beef up the state's sex offender Web site, as well as automatic e-mail notices sent to residents when a sex criminal moves into a new community.
