On Saturday, April 18th, 2015, detectives assigned to the Sheriff’s Major Crimes Bureau conducted compliance checks at the residences of registered sex offenders in the areas of Fillmore, Piru, and Moorpark.

Thirty (30) of the thirty three (33) registered sex offenders were found to be in compliance with their registration requirement. Three (3) registrants were not contacted because they were not home or had moved. Sheriff’s detectives will follow-up to determine if the registrants are out-of-compliance.
