Search parameters don't work. I tried multiple times with multiple distances (up to max of 4 miles) and nothing....but it did seem to supply every other repeat offender in every other part of the county, from one end to the other. Pages and pages, but nothing in Molino area that I could see. I tried and had the same result with my daughter's address in Myrtle Grove and we all know the grove is full but it wouldn't sort for her surrounding area. I had the same problem as Lisa mentioned.

I put in 1/2 mile from my address, then 1 mile and got the same people; many of them are much farther away than the parameters i put in. I can tell from the last known addresses that some of those listed are more than 5 miles away. Plus, there's no way of knowing the date of the offenders' status listed on the site. Not very helpful at all. The search parameters don’t work. I put in 1/2 mile from my address, then 1 mile and got the same people; many of them are much farther away than the parameters i put in.

It apparently does not deter felons from reoffending. I looked and there are 17 career offenders in Santa Rosa County. An overwhelming majority of them haven't been convicted of a crime in over a decade. A few of them its been 20+ years. One guy is reported DEAD. Only one person on it had commited a crime this decade in 2022. Apparently, once you get on this thing, no amount of time passing will get you off it.

Taking a look at the map, I definitely recognize a few of the people in different areas I've searched. Several of them aren't malicious, they just need or needed help. Some folks are definitely repeat offenders with no shame, but. I think it’s sad we don’t have enough community and mental health resources for sure.

However, am I wrong in thinking anyone that is a habitual offender as defined above, should not be free or in the public at all. It's sad that we don't have enough prisons/punishments for these folks. This should be a great tool.
