Those contacts resulted in eight arrests for failure to obey sex offender registration laws and an additional 13 arrests for sex offender violations or outstanding warrants, a department spokesperson wrote.
Those arrested for not obeying sex offender registration laws include:

LVMPD took the opportunity to remind members of the public that they have access to Offender Watch, a website and mobile app that gives them access to the addresses of registered sex offenders in their area.
