New Orleans, LA - The U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) New Orleans Task Force (Eastern District of LA) will be partnering with the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) Sex Offender Registration Unit, the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office (JPSO) Sex Offender Registration Unit, Louisiana (LA) State Police (LSP), LA Probation and Parole (LA P&P), and the Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office (OPSO) for Operation BOO DAT 2019. Operation BOO DAT is a sex offender enforcement and compliance operation with the goal of locating sex offenders wanted on active felony warrants related to their sex offender registration and/or other felony offenses. As part of Operation Boo Dat sex offender compliance checks (done by state/local LEOs to verify that the address that the sex offender provided is actually his/her address of residence) will also be done on active sex offenders during Halloween evening trick or treating time on 10/31/2019, to verify that New Orleans sex offenders are in compliance with their registration. The operation will cover mainly Orleans and Jefferson Parishes. Jefferson Parish SO will also be doing compliance checks during the course of the operation.
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of the featured fugitives may contact Crimestoppers anonymously. A $1,000 fugitive reward is issued upon the arrest of the suspect.
The U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) assist state/local law enforcement every day with sex offender fugitive issues but the important thing to note about these operations and Boo Dat in particular is that funding is provided by USMS Headquarters---Sex Offender Investigations Branch via the U.S. Department of Justice and this funding is for state/local over time (OT) so that law enforcement officers can provide assistance in locating fugitive sex offenders or in doing compliance checks either before or after their normal duty hours. Locating fugitives is a time consuming process and many agencies don’t have the manpower or funding to devote resources full time so this funding and support from USMS is a force multiplier in dealing with sex offenders.
The operation will run from 10/20/2019, and conclude on 11/09/2019. Targets below are wanted by either NOPD, JPSO, LSP, or LA P&P.
FYI: Tier 1 Sex Offenders are required to register for 15 years. Tier 2 Sex Offenders are 25 years of sex offender registration. Tier 3 Sex Offenders are life time sex offender registration.
Between Orleans and Jefferson Parishes there are currently well over a thousand registered sex offenders. Below are 21 wanted fugitive targets to spotlight for the operation. There are additional target fugitives not featured below and new felony FTR as a Sex Offender warrants will be generated during the operation.
