Sex Offender Registry Information

In accordance with the Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act (Section 106 of the Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act of 2000, Public Law 106-386), which amends the Jacob Wetterling Crimes Against Children and Sexually Violent Offender Registration Act, the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act), and 20 U.S.C. § 1092(f)(1)(I), institutions of higher education are required to advise the campus community where law enforcement agency information provided by a State concerning registered sex offenders may be obtained.

Pursuant to 34 C.F.R. § 668.46(b)(12), Coppin State University hereby notifies all students, faculty, staff, and visitors that information about registered sex offenders in the State of Maryland is available from the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services (DPSCS).

Members of the University community may access this information through the Maryland Sex Offender Registry at https://dpscs.maryland.gov/onlineservs/socem/default.shtml.

This site provides details regarding registered sex offenders who reside, work, or attend school in Maryland. The University’s Department of Public Safety also receives updates from law enforcement agencies as permitted by law and maintains internal awareness procedures consistent with privacy and safety obligations.
