CSOM's primary goal is to enhance public safety by preventing further victimization through improving the management of sex offenders in the community. CSOM's goals are carried out through three primary activity areas: an information exchange, training and technical assistance, and support to select Resources Sites and OJP grantees. Through these activity areas, CSOM:
- Provides those responsible for managing sex offenders ready access to the most current knowledge and effective practices by synthesizing and disseminating knowledge and practices to the field.
- Captures the lessons learned from communities around the country who have demonstrated-through collaboration between criminal justice agencies and other takeholders-that they can manage known sex offenders and increase public safety, and to disseminate those lessons so that others might benefit from them.
- Provides the opportunity for other jurisdictions to draw upon these experiences, enhance their own practices, and create similar results in their communities, by offering a variety of training and technical assistance opportunities to agencies and jurisdictions.

systems. Their mission is to raise the consciousness of our
