What are the possible statuses of an NSOR record retrieved during a QSX inquiry?

When conducting a QSX inquiry, the possible statuses of an NSOR (National Sex Offender Registry) record can encompass active, expired, or inactive records. This is crucial for understanding the full scope of the data retrieved during inquiries.

Active records indicate that the individual remains on the registry and poses a current risk, whereas expired records may have lapsed due to the completion of the designated registration period or other reasons, signifying that the individual is no longer required to register. Inactive records, on the other hand, suggest that while the individual may have been registered previously, their status has changed in a way that they are no longer considered active registrants.

Being able to retrieve all three statuses is essential for law enforcement and other agencies when assessing potential risks and making informed decisions based on the most comprehensive and relevant information available. This holistic approach aids in public safety and law enforcement efforts.
