Who manages the sex offender registry in South Carolina?

• A. FBI
• B. SLED (State Law Enforcement Division)
• C. Attorney General's Office
• D. SC Department of Public Safety

Answer: (B)

In South Carolina, the responsibility for maintaining and updating the sex offender registry falls to the state’s law enforcement agency that handles offender records. That agency is the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED). SLED runs the SC Sex Offender Registry, collects offender information (like registration details and addresses), enforces reporting requirements, and provides public access to registry information as required by state law.

The FBI operates at the federal level and supports national data sharing, but it does not manage a state’s registry. The Attorney General’s Office offers legal leadership and enforcement, not daily registry administration. The SC Department of Public Safety has broad public safety duties, but the registry itself is run by SLED.
