Sex Offender Notification in Campo
March 15, 2024 - San Diego County Sheriff’s Department officials report that on Wednesday, March 13, deputies with 
the San Diego County Sheriff's Department along with the Sexual Assault Felony Enforcement (SAFE) Task Force went door to door in Campo to inform the community about a Sexually Violent Predator (SVP) who will be living in their neighborhood.
Alan James is registered as a “Sexually Violent Predator” (SVP) sex offender with the California Department of Justice and the County of San Diego. This classification is based on felony convictions including several counts of child molest and kidnapping dating back to 1981 and 1985.
James served several years in state prison for his crimes before his civil commitment to a state mental hospital for sex offenders. In 2024, pursuant to a court order, James has been released into the community under the Conditional Release Program. James has a lifetime requirement to register as a sex offender.
James is not wanted by the Sheriff's Department at this time. California Penal Code Section 290, also known as “Megan’s Law,” permits law enforcement agencies to warn the community about sex offenders who frequent the area. The purpose of this notice is to allow members of the public to protect themselves and their children from sex offenders.
This notification is not intended to induce fear; rather, it is our belief that an informed community is a safer community. Use of this information to threaten, intimidate or harass the subject or any other person will not be tolerated and may result in prosecution.
NEITHER THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, NOR THE SEXUAL ASSAULT FELONY ENFORCEMENT (SAFE) TASK FORCE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SELECTION OF THE SITE. THAT SELECTION PROCESS IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE HOSPITALS AND THE SAN DIEGO SUPERIOR COURT.
