The Dalles Police Department says it partnered with the United States Marshal’s Service, the Oregon State Police and the Wasco County District Attorney’s office to check the compliance status of every registered sex offender in the City of The Dalles. According to a statement on the department’s Facebook page…the compliance checks on 128 sex offenders conducted in Operation Oregon Crosswalk included making “boots on the ground” checks of addresses that offenders have reported as their residences to confirm or deny the accuracy of the registration. COVID-19 protocols at the Northern Oregon Regional Correctional Facility were in effect during the time of the operation and no offenders were lodged for being out of strict compliance, but four warnings were issued and six offenders registered as required after contact. Three offenders were confirmed to be deceased, two had been previously deported, four were in jail and 15 were registered in an outside state. Other out of compliance offenders will be the subject of continued investigation and follow up by law enforcement.
