13885. The Legislature hereby finds that a substantial and
disproportionate amount of sexual offenses are committed against the
people of California by a relatively small number of multiple and
repeat sex offenders. In enacting this chapter, the Legislature
intends to support efforts of the criminal justice community through
a focused effort by law enforcement and prosecuting agencies to
identify, locate, apprehend, and prosecute sex offenders.
13885.1. The Attorney General shall maintain, upon appropriation of
funds by the Legislature, a statewide Sexual Predator Apprehension
Team force within the California Bureau of Investigation. The Sexual
Predator Apprehension Team force shall be comprised of California
Bureau of Investigation special agent teams throughout California.
The teams shall focus on repeat sex offenders, and perform the
following activities:
(a) Coordinate state and local investigative resources to
apprehend high risk sex offenders and persons required to register
under Section 290 who violate the law or conditions of probation or
parole.
(b) Target and monitor chronic repeat violent sex offenders before
the commission of additional sexual offenses.
(c) Develop profiles in unsolved sexual assault cases.
13885.15. (a) The special agent teams established pursuant to
Section 13885.1 shall also take a proactive role in the investigation
and prosecution of preferential child molesters and sexual
exploiters.
(b) For purposes of this section, "preferential child molester"
means a person whose primary sex drive is directed toward children. A
preferential child molester is distinguished from a situational
child molester, who will use children sexually in times of stress
because of a lack of impulse control or as a result of circumstances.
13885.2. The Attorney General, subject to the availability of
funds, shall establish in the Department of Justice the High Risk Sex
Offender Program, which is hereby created, which shall receive the
Facts of Offense Sheets, pursuant to Section 1203e. The program shall
use the scores of sex offenders reported on the Facts of Offense
Sheets for the purpose of identifying, assessing, monitoring, and
containing those sex offenders at a high risk of reoffending. This
shall be a statewide program.
It is the intent of the Legislature that this statewide program
shall not affect the operation of the Serious Habitual Offender
Program authorized by Chapter 10 (commencing with Section 13890)
involving the Counties of San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara,
Santa Cruz, Alameda, Contra Costa, Napa, Sonoma, Solano, and Marin
which shall become inoperative on July 1, 1994.
13885.4. As used in this chapter, "high risk sex offenders" means
those persons who are required to register as sex offenders pursuant
to the Sex Offender Registration Act and who have been assessed with
a score indicating a "high risk" on the SARATSO identified for that
person's specific population as set forth in Section 290.04, or who
are identified as being at a high risk of reoffending by the
Department of Justice, based on the person's SARATSO score when
considered in combination with other, empirically based risk factors.
13885.6. The Department of Justice shall establish and maintain a
comprehensive file of existing information maintained by law
enforcement agencies, probation departments, the Department of
Corrections and Rehabilitation, the State Department of Mental
Health, the Department of Motor Vehicles, and the Department of
Justice. The Department of Justice may request the Department of
Corrections and Rehabilitation, the State Department of Mental
Health, the Department of Motor Vehicles, law enforcement agencies,
and probation departments to provide existing information from their
files regarding persons identified by the Department of Justice as
high risk sex offenders pursuant to Section 13885.4. The Department
of Corrections and Rehabilitation, the State Department of Mental
Health, the Department of Motor Vehicles, law enforcement agencies,
and probation departments, when requested by the Department of
Justice, shall provide copies of existing information maintained in
their files regarding persons identified by the Department of Justice
as high risk sex offenders and shall provide followup information to
the Department of Justice as it becomes available, unless otherwise
prohibited by federal law. This information shall include, but is not
limited to, criminal histories, Facts of Offense Sheets, sex
offender registration records, police reports, probation and
presentencing reports, judicial records and case files, juvenile
records, psychological evaluations and psychological hospital
reports, and sexually violent predator treatment program reports.
This information shall also include records that have been sealed.
This information shall be provided to the Department of Justice in a
manner and format jointly approved by the submitting department and
the Department of Justice. This high risk sex offender file shall be
maintained by the Department of Justice High Risk Sex Offender
Program and shall contain a complete physical description and method
of operation of the high risk sex offender, information describing
his or her interaction with criminal justice agencies, and his or her
prior criminal record. The Department of Justice also shall prepare
a bulletin on each high risk sex offender for distribution to law
enforcement agencies.
13885.8. The Department of Justice shall electronically provide a
bulletin on each high risk sex offender to law enforcement agencies
via the California Sex Offender Registry database and the California
Law Enforcement Web (CLEW).
Upon request, the department shall provide the complete file of
information on a high risk sex offender to law enforcement agencies,
district attorneys, and the courts for the purpose of identifying,
