Reported information to be recorded and indexed by Department of Public Safety; information available to law enforcement officers, etc.

(a) The State Department of Public Safety shall adopt and maintain a system for registering or recording and indexing the information supplied by law enforcement officers and courts pursuant to Sections 15-20-2 and 15-20-3, which, in the opinion of the Director of Public Safety, will render this information useful in the apprehension and conviction of persons guilty of sex crimes and in the prevention or curtailing of such crimes.

(b) Information contained in such files shall not, however, be deemed public information, and the contents thereof shall be made available to duly constituted law enforcement officers for the purpose of aiding in the apprehension and conviction of sex offenders and in the prevention and curtailing of sex crimes and to such other agencies as may by law be entitled to receive such information.
