One millionth sex offender alert sent

Read this. Here is a quote:

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement sent out its one millionth sex offender e-mail alert Tuesday. The Florida Offender Alert System, which was launched last year, sends e-mail alert notifications when registered sexual offenders or predators move into a neighborhood or any other location designated by the user.

I am not sure if the readers are aware, but Florida only has a population of 18,328,340. The million milestone only represents one year of being in service. This boggles my mind. Could we assume that one in eighteen people living in Florida is a sex offender?
