In an effort to conduct address verifications and combat noncompliance with sex

offender registration laws, the Cranston Police Department works with the United

States Marshals Service Sex Offender Task Force, commonly referred to as the

SOLEMN Task Force (Sex Offender Law Enforcement Multi-Disciplinary

Network). SOLEMN combines all disciplines involved with sex offender management,

including law enforcement, prosecutors, Probation and Parole Officers and

Department of Children, Youth and Families (DCYF) personnel to more effectively
