Which of the following is a Rap Back Triggering Event related to changes in sex offender registry status?

• A. Arrests
• B. Death Notices
• C. Sex Offender Registry Modification
• D. Passport Expiration

Answer: (C)

Rap Back updates are driven by changes in background data sources that could affect an individual’s risk or status, including the sex offender registry. A triggering event in this area happens specifically when the sex offender registry entry is modified—that is, when the registry record for a person is updated, such as a status change, addition, or removal. When that modification occurs, Rap Back sends updated information to authorized agencies so they have current data to rely on.

Arrests, death notices, and passport expiration are not changes to the registry status itself, and thus do not serve as the triggering event in this context.
