About the Kaw Nation Sex Offender Registration Program (KNSOR)
Thanks to a federal grant the Kaw Nation is able to set up a sex offender web site that is compliant with the Sex Offender Registration Notification Act (SORNA). This site will have public access so that anyone can view it. The (KNSOR) is linked with The Dru Sjodin National Sex Offender Public Website (NSOPW). This program will identify convicted sex offenders living in, working on, working for, or visiting the Kaw Nation service area of Kay County, Oklahoma.
