Council <br />Exhibit A <br />Memo <br />To: Jeremy Barnhart <br />From: Police Chief Correy Farniok <br />Date September 21, 2016 <br />Re: Sex Offender Registry <br />Currently there are 8 individuals that in the City of Orono that are required to register with the <br />Orono Police Department as part of the Minnesota Predatory Offender Registration (POR) <br />program through the MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA). <br />These 8 POR's all have a risk level of 1 or not assigned. Risk levels are assigned by the <br />Minnesota Department of Corrections (DOC) not the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension <br />(BCA). Risk Levels are assigned to registrants who are released from prison on or after <br />January 1, 1997. <br />Risk level one indicates the least likelihood to re -offend. Risk level two indicates a moderate <br />likelihood to re -offend. Risk level three indicates high likelihood to re -offend. <br />Information about Level 3 offenders is available on the DOC web site. www.doc.state.mn.us <br />According to a recent search on the DOC website, the closest Level 3 Offenders are in Crystal <br />(2), New Hope (1) and Hopkins (2). <br />There are no provisions in M.S. § 243.166, Minnesota's registration law, which prohibit <br />registered offenders from living in the vicinity of a school or daycare. Restricting a registrant's <br />residency can be a condition of the registrant's probation or parole; however, if the person is <br />no longer on probation or parole, those restrictions are no longer effective. While there is not a <br />State law regarding residency restrictions for registered offenders, cities can pass local <br />ordinances with restrictions. <br />The challenge that we face as a police department and as a community is that the most of the <br />information regarding a POR is classified as private and we cannot release information to the <br />public on POR's. <br />
