Sex Offender Intense Supervision Officers Sworn In
- {West Virginia}...There are 3,464 registered sex offenders living in West Virginia. Friday, seven new probation officers were sworn in in Charleston. Their only duty is to supervise sex offenders and keep them from re-offending. The Sex Offender Intense Supervision Officers work out of their cars, traveling door to door, keeping a very close watch on sex offenders across West Virginia. This group will work mainly in the northern part of the state, 24-hours a day, giving lie detector tests, monitoring sex offenders electronically and just making sure they're where they're supposed to be. There are now 27 sex offender supervising officers in 44 counties. As of now, Kanawha County does not have this intense supervision.
