Officials with Acadia Parish Crime Stoppers are hoping the public will help them in their search for four sex offenders who have failed to keep up with their requirements under the sex offender registry.

As a part of each of their sentences, these offenders must notify law enforcement officials when they make a move. It's part of the requirements so that anyone in the public can identify where these individuals live. There are multiple agencies that offer access to the sex offender registry in the state, including the Louisiana State Police website.

Because it is a requirement, each person needs to honest with where they are living. But, it's also important for anyone who lives in our area. If registered sex offenders fail to register then how do you know where they are living? Could the new person who moved into the house down the street from your home be a sex offender. If they haven't registered, as is required, then how would you know?

There are four men currently being sought by Acadia Parish officials as they are considered fugitives for their failure to update their information on the registry.
