The Colorado Sex
Offender Mapping Application (SOMA)
received a 2015 Communicator Award of Distinction in the category of
Government Websites.
The award caps a two-year collaboration effort betweenthe Colorado
Bureau of Investigation (CBI), and Colorado
Interactive.
"To be involved in a project that impacts the safety of our state and
communities is very rewarding,” said Fred Sargeson, Colorado Interactive
general manager. “We were thrilled to be part of the team delivering
this important technology for the citizens of Colorado."
The project delivered a mobile-ready, device-agnostic experience, and
now includesa notification module allowing users to
receive notifications if a sex offender moves into zip code areas they
have added to their “Watch List.” Users are now notified via email on a
weekly basis of changes that occur once they have registered for
notifications on the SOMA
site.The overhauled website also offers images of the sex
offenders, as well as detailed conviction information.
The new system improves the ability of law enforcement to share
information. The site also reduces repeat data entry of historical
information about the sex offender, such as previous addresses, which
remains in the system. The sex
offender registry also allows law enforcement to collect additional
information in support of the website improvements, such as conviction
information.
Implementation of the new website ensures the state is in compliance
with the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA), which
is Title 1 of the Adam Walsh Act.
The Communicator Awards is the leading international awards program
honoring creative excellence for communication professionals. This year,
thousands of entries were received from companies and agencies of all
sizes, making it one of the largest awards of its kind in the world.
