2023-24 SEXUAL ASSAULT EVIDENCE SUBMISSION GRANT PROGRAM FACT SHEET

It was with the Sexual Assault Felony Enforcement (SAFE / ELEAS) program f̶u̶n̶d̶s̶  a̶r̶e̶ which provided funds for the compliance check; including one on Saturday 10/12/24, at the eighty-two residences of registered sex offenders throughout the City of Camarillo.

• 63 of the sex registrants were confirmed to be in compliance with their registration requirements. 
• 19 were not contacted because they were either not home or had moved. Sheriff’s detectives will follow-up to determine if the nineteen registrants not contacted are out of compliance.

  The Sheriff’s Office aggressively pursues prosecution of those sex registrants who fail to comply
  with their registration requirements. Detectives will be conducting similar sweeps on an ongoing
  basis to verify the registered sex offenders in our community are living at their reported residences and remain in compliance with any probation or parole terms. Residents of Ventura County can visit the Megan’s Law website (www.meganslaw.ca.gov) to familiarize themselves with the sex registrants in their community.
