Leander Police Department

The Leander Police Department handles sex offender registration for residents living within Leander city limits. LPD processes registrations at its headquarters during regular business hours. Officers collect required personal information, take a current photograph, and submit the registration to the Texas DPS for inclusion in the statewide public registry. If you live in Leander and are required to register, LPD is the starting point.

Leander has grown quickly over the past decade and now spans parts of both Williamson and Travis counties. LPD coordinates with both the Williamson County Sheriff's Office and the Travis County Sheriff's Office on registration matters when offenders move between city and unincorporated county areas. Most of Leander falls within Williamson County, but residents in the Travis County portion should confirm their registration authority with LPD before arriving.

At registration, LPD collects the offender's full legal name and any aliases, current home address, date of birth, phone number, physical description, vehicle information, and employer details. A current photo is taken, and some registrants must also provide a DNA sample. All of this data is reported to the Texas DPS and made searchable through the public registry.

High-risk offenders must verify their registration every 90 days. Others verify annually. Any change in address, employment, or other registered information must be reported to LPD within seven days of the change.
