There were three new registered sex offenders living in Bureau County as of the first quarter of 2024, compared to the previous quarter, according to the Illinois Police Sex Offender Registry.

The Registry showed that, in total, 23 sexual offenders were living in Bureau County, compared to 21 the quarter before. Over these three months, one offender left Bureau County and three moved into the area.

All three of the offenders who moved to Bureau County during this period were sexual predators.
