St. George Police Department Registration
Sex offenders who live, work, or go to school in St. George must register with the St. George Police Department. Registration is required twice per year under Utah state law. The schedule is set by the registrant's birth month, with the second check-in six months after the first. Any required change to registry information must be reported within 3 business days of that change taking effect. Missing this deadline is a criminal violation under Utah law.
The contact for sex offender registration at the St. George Police Department is Officer Tiffany Mitchell, reachable at 435-627-4339. Contact Officer Mitchell before your first visit to confirm appointment availability, what documents are needed, and current office hours. The department's services page is at sgcityutah.gov.
Offenders moving to St. George from out of state must register within 10 days of arriving in Utah. Utah applies its own registration rules to all incoming offenders regardless of what their prior state required. Failing to register within the 10-day window is itself a criminal offense.

What St. George Sex Offenders Must Report
Utah law requires that any change to the following items be reported to the St. George Police Department within 3 business days. This list covers the most common data points that trigger an update requirement:
- Phone numbers, email addresses, and internet identifiers including website names and addresses
- Employment and volunteering details: employer name, phone number, address, and Social Security number used at that job

Offenders who prefer to complete changes online before contacting police can use OffenderWatch Express at offenderwatchexpress.com. This lets registrants pre-fill update information digitally.
