Award Information
Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2016, $193,557)
The Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006 (AWA) (42 U.S.C. § 16909, et seq.; Pub. L. 113-235, 128 Stat. 2130, 2193) authorizes the Office of Sex Offender Sentencing, Monitoring, Apprehending, Registering, and Tracking (SMART) to administer sex offender management grants. These grants assist states, the District of Columbia, U.S. principal territories and tribal jurisdictions in developing and/or enhancing sex offender registration and notification programs that support substantial implementation of Title I of the AWA, known as the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA). SORNA was enacted to protect the public from convicted sex offenders and offenders against children by establishing a comprehensive national system for the registration of those offenders.
The Miami Tribe of Oklahoma will use AWA grant funds to maintain current level administration of its SORNA project; develop a community education program on sex offender topics; and improve its information sharing through quarterly collaboration meetings and plans to host a training for law enforcement and SORNA related personnel. ca/ncf
