INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — The Indian River County Sheriff’s Sexual Predator and Offender Tracking (SPOT) Unit has joined twitter.
The twitter account is twitter.com/IRCSOSPOT.
The unit will be tweeting notifications when registered sexual offenders and predators move into and within Indian River County, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
Each tweet will contain a link to the offender’s or predator’s Florida Department of Law Enforcement’s (FDLE) online/public profile.
Those who have already liked the Indian River County Sheriff’s Office facebook page began receiving these notifications earlier this week.
The Sheriff’s Office can be found on facebook at www.facebook.com/ircsheriff.
