It shall be the policy of the County of Suffolk to notify the
victims of registered sex offenders when a registered sex offender
absconds from the supervision of the Department of Probation.
Notification will be made to the victim's next-of-kin, or guardian,
if the victim is a minor or lacks legal capacity.
The Department of Probation shall implement this policy and
notify victims, verbally and in writing, when a sex offender absconds,
as soon as practicable.
The Director of the Department of Probation is authorized and
empowered to promulgate rules and regulations necessary to implement
this policy.
