Michigan's Three-Tier Sex Offender System
Michigan classifies every registered sex offender into one of three tiers. The tier depends on the crime that led to registration. Each tier carries a different registration length and how often the offender must check in to verify their information with law enforcement, including the Wyoming Police Department.
Tier I is the lowest level. It covers offenses like Criminal Sexual Conduct 4th Degree under MCL 750.520e when the victim is an adult. Tier I offenders register for 15 years and verify once a year. Tier II is the middle level and covers crimes like Criminal Sexual Conduct 2nd Degree under MCL 750.520c and child exploitation offenses. These offenders stay on the registry for 25 years and verify twice per year. Tier III is the most serious. It includes Criminal Sexual Conduct 1st Degree under MCL 750.520b and requires lifetime registration with quarterly verification.
There are about 45,000 registered sex offenders in Michigan. The Michigan State Police SOR Unit manages the registry and coordinates with local agencies like the Wyoming Police Department. Any change in address, employment, or school enrollment must be reported within three business days. Moving out of state requires notice three business days before the move. Moving out of the country requires 21 days notice.
Note: A 2024 federal ruling changed how some lifetime registrants are classified. Some offenders may shift from lifetime to 25-year registration as a result of that decision.
