• For the purposes of this grant, unclassified offenders and kidnapping offenders are considered <br />level I offenders, unless the local jurisdiction sets a higher classification in the interest of public <br />safety. <br /> <br />Funding from this program will be used to send at least one staff member to at least one in-person WASPC <br />OffenderWatch User Group and SONAR Committee Meeting. Meeting dates are July 22, 2026, October <br />28, 2026, January 27, 2027, and April 28, 2027. <br /> <br />Address verification data must be entered into the statewide sex offender database, OffenderWatch. <br />WASPC will conduct audits of the OffenderWatch records to confirm verification entries and completeness <br />of records. <br /> <br />Registration, community notification and verification of offenders must follow the applicable state <br />statutes (RCWs 4.24.550, 9A.44.130, 9A.44.135, 36.28A.230, etc.). Any delegation to cities should have <br />signed Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) clearly defining agreed upon responsibilities. <br /> <br />Please note the following terms will be adhered to for the 2026-2027 Registered Sex Offender Address <br />Verification Program: <br /> <br />• Any agency not meeting at least 90% of required verifications will be contacted to develop a plan <br />to correct the agency’s noncompliance. <br />• Any agency not using OffenderWatch to track RSOs and verifications will not receive that quarter’s <br />grant payment until OffenderWatch records are adequately corrected. <br />• Agencies that do not participate in at least two (one in-person and one virtual) OffenderWatch <br />User Group and SONAR Committee meetings will be penalized 10% of the final quarter’s grant <br />payment. <br />• Agencies should have at least one person trained in the current coding rules for the Static 99R. <br />• Quarterly grant reports must be received by WASPC prior to quarterly grant payments being <br />issued to your agency. <br />• The agency may retain up to three percent (3%) of the amounts provided pursuant to this section <br />for the cost of administration. <br /> <br />Please review the attached interagency agreement, sign, date, and return to the WASPC Office ASAP. If <br />you have any questions, please contact Terrina Peterson at (360) 486-2386 or tpeterson@waspc.org. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Jamie Weimer <br />Chief of Staff <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
