Search the Greenfield Sex Offender Registry
Go to iCrimeWatch Indiana and search by city name or the 46140 zip code to find offenders registered in Greenfield. The results show current address, photo, offense, and registration details for each person. The search is free and open to the public.
The Indiana Department of Correction also offers a statewide search. Use the Hancock County filter to see all offenders registered in the county. Both tools draw from the same database. The iCrimeWatch tool is generally easier to use for address-based or city-level searches.
For people who have lived in multiple states, check the National Sex Offender Public Website. It aggregates registry data from all 50 states and can show records that would not appear in an Indiana-only search.

Registration Requirements Under Indiana Law
Indiana Code 11-8-8, called Zachary's Law, has governed the sex offender registry since January 1, 2003. The law defines which convictions require registration, how long a person must remain registered, and how often they must verify their information.
In Greenfield, as everywhere in Indiana, offenders must register within 72 hours of release from custody or moving to a new address. Most registrants verify their information once per year. Sexually violent predators (SVPs) must check in with the sheriff every 90 days instead of annually. Missing a verification appointment is a criminal offense.
Registered offenders cannot live within 1,000 feet of a school, park, youth center, or childcare facility. This restriction applies in Greenfield and throughout Hancock County. Offenders who move into the area must confirm their address meets these distance requirements before registering it with the sheriff's office.
Email Alert Notifications
The iCrimeWatch system offers free email alerts for any Indiana address. You can register to receive notifications when a sex offender moves into an area near your home, a family member's home, or your child's school. The system sends alerts automatically when registry changes occur in your chosen area. There is no cost to sign up.
This is one of the more practical features of the registry. Rather than checking manually, you get notified when something changes near you. Sign up through the iCrimeWatch site using your Indiana address.
What Each Registry Listing Includes
The iCrimeWatch listing for each Greenfield offender shows full legal name, any known aliases, date of birth, current registered address, and a photo if one is on file. It also shows the conviction offense, conviction date, and the offender's tier or classification.
Tier level affects how long someone stays on the registry. Tier I offenders may be eligible to petition for removal after 10 years. Tier III and SVPs remain registered for life. The listing clearly shows which category applies. You can also see whether the person has any active work or school addresses registered in addition to a residential address.
How to Report a Violation
If someone you know has failed to register, moved without updating the registry, or is living too close to a school or park, you can report it to the Hancock County Sheriff at 317-477-1199. You can also call the Greenfield Police Department non-emergency line at 317-477-4410. Provide what information you have, including the person's name and address if you know it. The authorities will follow up. Failure to register is a Level 6 felony in Indiana.

The Indiana Sheriffs Association offers statewide registry resources and guidance on how the system works. The Find Your Sheriff Office tool can help you locate the correct contact for any Indiana county. For Greenfield, that is the Hancock County Sheriff's Office at 640 S. Franklin St.
