FLAGSTAFF, Arizona — The Flagstaff Police Department issued a community notification on March 28, 2025, about a convicted sex offender, Rhea Claire Hamm, living in the area, as required by Arizona Revised Statute 13-3825. Hamm, identified by Offender ID and Registration Number 1736636, has a history of sex offenses that legally mandate public notification, though police stress she is not currently wanted for any crimes.

Details about Hamm’s convictions, exact address, or risk level weren’t disclosed in the initial release, but such notifications typically involve offenders classified as Level 2 or 3—those deemed a moderate to high risk of reoffending—under Arizona law. The Flagstaff Police are asking for the public’s help in spreading the word to ensure community awareness, a standard practice to keep residents informed and safe. Hamm’s presence in Flagstaff, a city of about 75,000 known for its proximity to Northern Arizona University and the Grand Canyon, has raised concerns among locals, especially in family-heavy neighborhoods.

This isn’t the first time Flagstaff has dealt with such notifications—in 2023, the Coconino County Sheriff’s Office issued a similar alert for a Level 3 offender near Kachina Village, prompting community meetings. If you have questions or need more info, contact the Flagstaff Police at 928-774-1414. They’re committed to transparency while balancing legal requirements and public safety.
