Registered offenders

Registered-offender data is meaningful only at the address level, so SafeNest does not publish a city-wide figure for Tulsa: a single citywide number would blend blocks with very different profiles and mislead more than it informs. Exact counts and locations for any specific Tulsa address are available in the SafeNest app, drawn directly from the state's public registry.
