Sex Offender Registries
The Clay County Sheriff's Office maintains a list of registered sex offenders residing in Clay County who are required to register under RSMo 589.400. A list of registered sex offenders is being offered on this web site as a public service to residents who may need this information for the protection and well-being of their families. The list is updated several times per day. It contains the names of registered sex offenders who reside in Clay County only. Although every effort is made to keep this list accurate and current, the Sheriff's Office cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information.
Offenders may have moved and failed to notify the Sheriff or local law enforcement agency as required by law. Please contact the Sheriff's Office or local law enforcement for verification of an offender's status. If you have reason to believe that any of the information contained on this site is inaccurate, please contact us at 816-407-3720.
Anyone who uses information contained in the sex offender list to commit a criminal act against another person is subject to criminal prosecution.
