Information on Level Three Sex Offender Moving into Armatage; Meeting Monday

Definition of Level Three from the Minneapolis Police Department's website:

An offender determined to be the MOST likely to re-offend is assigned a Risk Level III. In this case, local law enforcement, victims or witnesses, and any agencies that serve a population at risk of victimization may be notified, as well as the general public. Community Notification to the general public may take place in the form of a community meeting. People living within a three block radius of where the offender will be or is residing may receive notice of the community meeting via a flyer and/or by CityWatch, a telephone broadcast system designed to send residents a recorded message about an upcoming meeting.

At a Community Notification meeting, the public can expect to hear a presentation consisting of general facts about the Community Notification Law, statistics about sex offenders, and specific information about the sex offender moving into or already living in the community. The public will have an opportunity to ask a panel of criminal justice professionals questions, as well as be provided educational literature. The Minneapolis Police Department does everything it can to notify the community before an offender is released or relocates, however, this is not always possible.
