Risk Levels for Jenks Sex Offenders

Oklahoma classifies sex offenders into three risk levels. Level 1 is low risk, with annual registration for 15 years. Level 2 is moderate, requiring check-ins every six months for 25 years. Level 3 is high risk, with registration every 90 days for life.

The risk level determines how often an offender must appear at the Jenks Police Department or Tulsa County Sheriff's Office to verify their information. Habitual offenders with two or more qualifying convictions register for life at the quarterly schedule regardless of level. Aggravated offenders also face lifetime registration. You can see each offender's level in both the state registry and OffenderWatch search results, so Jenks residents know exactly what classification applies to offenders living nearby.
