How to Search Sex Offenders in Dundalk

The Maryland DPSCS sex offender registry is the official public search tool. Go to dpscs.maryland.gov and search by ZIP code. The primary ZIP code for Dundalk is 21222. Enter it and choose a search radius to see registered sex offenders in the area. The map view shows offender pins by street, which makes it easy to check a specific neighborhood. You can also filter by tier level or check for non-compliant offenders only.

Each profile shows the offender's name, photo, current address, tier, conviction description, and compliance status. Tier I means the person registers for 15 years and checks in every six months. Tier II means 25 years with the same check-in frequency. Tier III means lifetime registration with check-ins every three months. Sexually violent predators also register for life with quarterly appearances. The profile tells you which tier applies so you know how long the person has been and will remain on the registry.
