Chula Vista Municipal Code Ch. 9.80 Sex Offender Residency Registration and Restrictions

SEX OFFENDER RESIDENCY REGISTRATION AND RESTRICTIONS

Sections:

• 9.80.010 Findings and declaration.

• 9.80.020 State law registration requirements and individualized conditions.

• 9.80.030 Police Department cooperation.

The City Council finds and declares that it is in the best interest of the City to monitor and, whenever possible, cooperate with other local and state agencies to manage the conduct of convicted sex offenders in the community. (Ord. 3411 § 1, 2017; Ord. 3034, 2006).

Penal Code Section 290 requires sex offenders to register their residency with local law enforcement agencies. In addition, sex offenders who are on parole or probation with the state or county are subject to further restrictions and conditions, including residency restrictions and GPS monitoring as determined on a case-by-case basis. In making case-by-case determinations, state law currently implements a “Containment Model” approach to sex offender management. The Containment Model involves collaboration among a team of professionals and the use of research-based, state-authorized risk assessment tools to evaluate the risk of sexual re-offense and assist in developing appropriate individualized parole or probation conditions. These practices may change subject to changes in state or local law. (Ord. 3411 § 1, 2017; Ord. 3034, 2006).

The Chula Vista Police Department shall actively cooperate with other state and local agencies to assist in the effective enforcement and management of sex offenders, particularly with regard to sex offender registration requirements. The Police Department is further directed, when necessary, to report any enforcement issues to the City Manager or City Council. (Ord. 3411 § 1, 2017; Ord. 3034, 2006).
