Maumelle Sex Offender Registry
Maumelle sex offender records are maintained by the Maumelle Police Department in coordination with the Arkansas Crime Information Center. Residents can search for registered sex offenders in Maumelle using the ACIC public registry, which lists all Level 3 and Level 4 offenders by address and name. This page explains how the registry works in Maumelle, what local registration looks like, which risk levels are visible to the public, and what legal requirements govern offenders living within city limits.
Maumelle Sex Offenders Overview
Search Maumelle Sex Offenders Online
The best place to search for sex offenders in Maumelle is the Arkansas Crime Information Center public registry. The tool is free. You can search by city name, zip code, name, or a map view. Enter "Maumelle" in the city field to pull up all publicly listed offenders within city limits. Each result shows a current photo, home address, vehicle information, and details on the underlying conviction.
The registry only shows Level 3 and Level 4 offenders. Level 1 and Level 2 offenders are not public. If someone you know does not appear in the search results, that does not mean they are not registered. They may be at a lower level, may have moved, or may have successfully petitioned for removal after meeting the 15-year threshold. The ACIC registry is updated when offenders report changes, but it is not a live feed. Always treat results as current to within a few days.
Maumelle sits along the Arkansas River in Pulaski County, just northwest of Little Rock. The city is relatively compact, which means a geographic map search can cover it efficiently. The ACIC map view lets you drop a pin and view offenders within a set radius, which is useful if you want to check a specific street or neighborhood rather than the whole city.
Maumelle Police Department Sex Offender Registration
The Maumelle Police Department handles sex offender registration for everyone who lives within Maumelle city limits. Officers receive registration information, verify addresses, and enter all data into the statewide CENSOR system. CENSOR stands for Centralized Electronic Network of Sex Offender Registries. It links directly to the ACIC public database, so every registration processed at the Maumelle PD flows to the statewide search tool.
Anyone who establishes residency in Maumelle and is required to register must do so within three business days. That clock starts the day the person moves in, not the day they unpack. It does not pause for weekends or holidays in any meaningful way because the three days are calendar-tracked from the date of residency. Missing the deadline is a Class C felony under Ark. Code Ann. § 12-12-904, which carries a sentence of three to ten years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000. These are serious consequences, and they apply even to first-time violations.
Maumelle PD coordinates closely with the Pulaski County Sheriff's Office. When an offender registers in Maumelle, the Sheriff's Office is also notified. This joint coordination helps both agencies track offenders who move between city and county jurisdictions. If you need to confirm registration procedures or hours at Maumelle PD, the City of Maumelle website provides current contact information for the police department.
Registered sex offenders in Maumelle must report any change of address, new vehicle, new employer, or new online account within the required time frame. Most changes must be reported ten days before they happen or within three days in an emergency. Failure to report a change is treated the same as failure to register initially.
Arkansas Sex Offender Law and Maumelle Residents
Arkansas sex offender registration law is governed by the Sex Offender Registration Act of 1997, codified at Ark. Code Ann. § 12-12-901 et seq. The law applies to all cities and counties in the state, including Maumelle. Anyone convicted of a qualifying sex offense who lives, works, or attends school in Arkansas must register. The list of qualifying offenses is long. It includes rape, sexual assault in the first through fourth degree, sexual indecency with a child, computer child pornography, and internet stalking of a child, among others.
Offenders who move to Maumelle from another state face the same three-business-day registration window. Being unaware of the Arkansas rule is not a defense. Out-of-state offenders who spend more than fourteen consecutive days or thirty total days in a calendar year in Arkansas must also register, even if they live elsewhere. Workers and students fall under this rule. The law is broad on purpose.
Verification schedules depend on risk level. Level 1 and Level 2 offenders check in every six months. Level 3 offenders also verify every six months but face more stringent address checks. Level 4 offenders, classified as sexually violent predators, must appear in person every three months. All of this is tracked through the CENSOR system, which generates automatic reminders and flags overdue check-ins for law enforcement follow-up.
Risk Levels for Maumelle Sex Offenders
Every registered sex offender in Arkansas is assessed by SOSRA, the Sex Offender Screening and Risk Assessment unit, reachable at (870) 850-8429. SOSRA reviews criminal history, mental health records, interview results, and actuarial tools to assign one of four risk levels. The assessment happens before or shortly after release from custody. Offenders who move to Maumelle from another jurisdiction are reassessed if their original level was assigned under a different state's standards.
Level 1 means low risk. These offenders do not appear on the public registry. Level 2 is moderate risk. Also not public, but agencies may notify schools and organizations likely to encounter the offender. Level 3 is high risk. These offenders are on the public registry, and community notification is required. Neighbors, schools, and local organizations receive an Offender Fact Sheet. Level 4 is sexually violent predator status. This is the most serious classification. Community meetings may be held, media can be notified, and posters may be posted in the area near the offender's residence.
Maumelle residents who want to know which Level 3 and Level 4 offenders live near them should use the ACIC map search rather than the name-based search. The map view makes it easy to scan a specific neighborhood. Results include all visible offenders within any radius you set.
Residency Restrictions for Maumelle Sex Offenders
Level 3 and Level 4 sex offenders in Maumelle cannot live within 2,000 feet of any public or private elementary school, secondary school, or daycare facility. This restriction comes from Ark. Code Ann. § 5-14-128. The 2,000-foot buffer is measured from the property line of the school or daycare, not just the building itself. That makes the zone wider than it might look on a map. Maumelle has several schools within a compact city footprint, which significantly limits where higher-risk offenders can legally reside.
Knowingly violating the residency restriction is a Class D felony. An offender who lived at a given address before July 16, 2003, or before a school or daycare opened nearby, may qualify for a limited exception. That exception is automatically void if the offender commits any new sex offense after the exemption is granted. Maumelle PD and the Pulaski County Sheriff both have authority to investigate and report residency violations.
6th Judicial Circuit Court and Maumelle Cases
Sex offense cases in Maumelle are handled by the 6th Judicial Circuit Court, which covers Pulaski County. The circuit court issues registration orders as part of sentencing when someone is convicted of a qualifying sex offense. Those orders are transmitted to ACIC, which then triggers the intake process at the local registration office. In Maumelle, that means the Maumelle Police Department receives notification and schedules the offender's initial registration.
The circuit court also hears petitions for removal from the sex offender registry. Under Ark. Code Ann. § 12-12-919, an offender may petition for removal after 15 years if they have been offense-free and completed all required treatment. The court reviews the petition, considers the original offense, the offender's risk level, and any opposition from victims or law enforcement. Removal is not guaranteed. The judge weighs all factors. A successful petition removes the offender from the public registry and ends the registration obligation.
Victims and community members can attend circuit court hearings on removal petitions. The court provides public notice of scheduled hearings. Anyone with an interest in a specific case can contact the 6th Circuit Clerk in Little Rock for case dates and filing information.
Campus Sex Crimes and Maumelle Area Resources
Maumelle is close to several institutions of higher education in the greater Little Rock area. Under the Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act of 2000 and the Jeanne Clery Act, every registered sex offender who is enrolled or employed at a college or university must notify both ACIC and the institution of that status. Campus police departments at nearby schools receive this information and maintain their own records of registered offenders on campus.
If you have questions about a specific registration case, ACIC can be reached at (501) 682-2222. The main office is at One Capitol Mall, Little Rock, AR 72201. ACIC manages the statewide registry and can answer questions about registration status, verification schedules, and the CENSOR system. They do not provide legal advice, but they can confirm whether someone is registered and what their publicly listed risk level is.
Legal aid organizations in the central Arkansas area can help offenders and families understand rights and obligations. Understanding the law matters. Knowing the deadlines, the verification schedules, and the petition process helps everyone involved make informed decisions and stay in compliance.
