The Sex Offender Management Task Force of Southern Nevada has been meeting bi-weekly or monthly since the start of 2006. This Task Force was supported by a grant from the Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Administration. With guidance from the Center for Sex Offender Management (CSOM), the Task Force has completed a number of projects.

1. System Maps – Two system maps were produced for both adult and juvenile offenders. These maps set out the steps involved in processing sexual offenders through the criminal justice system in Southern Nevada. The adult system map can viewed through the link below.
