MILWAUKEE -- Have you ever been curious to know if there was a sex offender living in your neighborhood?
 
Now you can track it online.
 
Recently, the Milwaukee Police Department’s Sensitive Crimes Division launched a new sex offender registration and public notification website called Offender Watch. 
 
All you have to do is type in your address and you can see who lives nearby. You can also register your address to get email alerts when a new sex offender moves into your area.
 
The site, which is free to use, is updated in real time by the police department.
