This notification is not intended to increase fear. It is our belief that an informed public is a safer public. The Minneapolis Police Department has no legal authority to direct where a released offender may or may not live. Unless court ordered restrictions exist, an offender may live wherever he chooses.
Sex offenders have always lived in our communities but it was not until passage of the Community Notification Bill and Sex Offender Registration Act, that law enforcement knew where they were living. Due to the passage of these laws, law enforcement can now share information with the public. Abuse of this information to threaten, intimidate, or harass registered sex offenders will not be tolerated and may be a crime. Such abuse could potentially end our ability to notify the community when sex offenders are released into the public.
The Minneapolis Police Department is releasing this information pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 244.052, which authorizes law enforcement agencies to inform the public of a sex offender who has been released from custody regarding his criminal conviction.
