Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2016, $83,689)

The Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006 (AWA) (42 U.S.C. § 16909, et seq.; Pub. L. 113-235, 128 Stat. 2130, 2193) authorizes the Office of Sex Offender Sentencing, Monitoring, Apprehending, Registering, and Tracking (SMART) to administer sex offender management grants. These grants assist states, the District of Columbia, U.S. principal territories and tribal jurisdictions in developing and/or enhancing sex offender registration and notification programs that support substantial implementation of Title I of the AWA, known as the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA). SORNA was enacted to protect the public from convicted sex offenders and offenders against children by establishing a comprehensive national system for the registration of those offenders.

Modoc Tribe of Oklahoma will utilize their FY 2016 AWA grant funds to develop in-depth physical and technical search capacities to identify and monitor sex offenders by improving their public sex offender registry systems; continue information sharing with jurisdictions; and develop community outreach. ca/ncf
