ONE person in Jersey suspected or linked to terrorism offences is currently under the highest level of management by agencies, as the number of registered sex offenders in Jersey rose to 211.
The annual report of Jersey Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements, which co-ordinates the management of sex offenders and others deemed to pose a risk of harm to others, revealed that the number of registered sex offenders was at its highest in 2025.
In 2019, 171 people were on the list, a figure that has increased steadily in the past years, reaching 202 in 2024 and 211 in 2025.
A total of 39% of them were in the community, 36% had relocated, and 25% were in prison.
Offenders who are managed by JMAPPA are further split into categories, depending on their crimes, with sex offenders are classed as part of Category 1. In 2025, 13 people were de-registered, while 26 people were added to the list during the year.
JMAPPA also manages violent offenders and people who are convicted but don’t have the mental health to take part in court proceedings.
And one person, who was also a sex offender, was classed as a Category 4 offender – meaning they were suspected, charged or convicted with a terrorism offence.
JMAPPA’s strategic management board includes leaders from the Probation Service, the police, prison service, Customs and Immigration, adult mental health services, housing agencies, CYPES and Victims First.
The report said: “The risks posed through serious violent and sexually harmful behaviour can never be entirely eliminated. Nevertheless, all evidence indicates that the assessment and management of those risks is best achieved through the co-ordinated drawing together of information, expertise and action from all available sources; this is the overarching aim of JMAPPA.
“Jersey is fortunate to have the commitment of a large number of agencies from both statutory and non-statutory agencies. Its partners include those that work with both offenders and victims, including children. Through their ongoing commitment and cooperation, the JMAPPA process continues to make a vital contribution to Jersey’s public safety.”
