Immediately following the court hearing, paperwork is supposed to be initiated with the state... Once the state registration office processes it, they send it down to the local law enforcement office. Local law enforcement office than processes the registration requirement - hand delivers a registration statement and gives a specific time as to when the individual must report to the law enforcement office for registration to begin. Once the individual reports to the local law enforcement office and registers, the paperwork is then sent back up to the state office and it is then that they are added to the sex offender registry for all to review. it will be approx 2-3 wks before you see him listed there.
