The Police Department shall have policies and procedures in place to ensure the following:
(a) 
That any sex offender incarcerated or sentenced by the Tribe for a covered sex offense completes their initial registration with the Tribe;
(b) 
That the sex offender reads, or has read to them, and signs a form stating that the duty to register has been explained to them and that the sex offender understands the registration requirement;
(c) 
That the sex offender is registered, and added to the public website if applicable;
(d) 
That upon entry of the sex offender’s initial or updated information into the Port Gamble S’Klallam Sexual Offender Registry, that information is immediately forwarded to all other jurisdictions in which the sex offender is required to register due to the sex offender’s residency, employment, or student status; and
(e) 
That all information is entered and updated in NCIC/NSOR.
(a) 
Retroactive Registration. The Police Department shall have in place policies and procedures to ensure the following three categories of sex offenders are subject to the registration and updating requirements of this Title:
(i) 
Sex offenders incarcerated or under the supervision of the Tribe, whether for a sex offense or other crime;
(ii) 
Sex offenders already registered or subject to a pre-existing sex offender registration requirement; and
(iii) 
Sex offenders re-entering the justice system due to conviction for any crime.
(b) 
Timing of Recapture. The Police Department shall ensure recapture of the sex offenders mentioned in Section 6.07.02(a) within the following timeframe to be calculated from the date of passage of this Title:
(i) 
For Tier I sex offenders, 1 year;
(ii) 
For Tier II sex offenders, 180 days; and
(iii) 
For Tier III sex offenders, 90 days.
(a) 
Failure to Appear. In the event a jurisdiction notifies the Tribe that a sex offender is relocating to tribal lands or otherwise will be required to register with the Tribe, and the sex offender fails to register with the Tribe as required by this Title, the Police Department or designee shall immediately inform the jurisdiction that provided notification that the sex offender failed to appear for registration. If, pursuant to 6.07.03(d), the Police Department determines that the sex offender is not absconding or attempting to abscond, and had a good-faith reason for missing the registration deadline, the Police Department shall so notify the jurisdiction that provided notification and shall inform the jurisdiction when the sex offender actually registers or if the sex offender fails to register within the seven-day timeframe.
(b) 
Absconded Sex Offenders. If the Police Department or designee receives information that a sex offender has absconded the Police Department shall take the following actions:
(i) 
The Police Department shall make an effort to determine if the sex offender has actually absconded. In the event no determination can be made, the Police Department or designee shall ensure the tribal police and any other appropriate law enforcement agency is notified.
(ii) 
If the information indicating the possible absconding came through notice from another jurisdiction or federal authorities, they shall be informed that the sex offender has failed to appear and register.
(iii) 
If an absconded sex offender cannot be located then the Police Department shall take the following steps:
(1) 
Update the Port Gamble S’Klallam Sexual Offender Registry and public website to reflect the sex offender has absconded or is otherwise not capable of being located;
(2) 
Notify the U.S. Marshals Service;
(3) 
Seek a warrant for the sex offender’s arrest. The U.S. Marshals Service or FBI may be contacted in an attempt to obtain a federal warrant for the sex offender’s arrest;
(4) 
Update the NSOR to reflect the sex offender’s status as an absconder, or is otherwise not capable of being located; and
(5) 
Enter the sex offender into the NCIC Wanted Person File.
(c) 
Failure to Register. In the event a sex offender who is required to register under this Title fails to do so or otherwise violates a registration requirement of this Title, the Police Department shall take all appropriate follow-up measures including those outlined in Section 6.07.03(b). The Police Department shall first make an effort to determine if the sex offender actually resides, is employed, or is attending school in lands subject to the Tribe’s jurisdiction.
(d) 
Late Registration. In the event that a sex offender fails to register within the timeframes allowed by this Title, but the Police Department determines that the sex offender had a good-faith reason for missing the registration deadline and is not absconding or attempting to abscond, civil and criminal penalties pursuant to this Title for failure to register will not attach until seven calendar days have passed after the sex offender was originally required to register. If the sex offender registers within that seven days, civil and criminal penalties for failure to register will not apply to that failure to register.
