SEX OFFENDER INFORMATION BULLETIN

June 18, 2002

The Madison Police Department is releasing the following information pursuant to Wisconsin State Statute 301.46(2m) which authorizes law enforcement agencies to inform the public of a sex offender's release when; in the discretion of the agency, the release of information will enhance public safety, awareness and protection.  The individual who appears on this notification has been convicted of a sex offense.  Further, his criminal history places him in a classification level which reflects the potential to re-offend.

This sex offender has served the sentence imposed on him by the courts.  He is NOT wanted by the police at this time.  This notification is not intended to increase fear, rather, it is our belief that an informed public is a safer public. 

Sex offenders have always lived in our communities; but it was not until Act 440 was enacted that law enforcement is able to share this information with the community.  Citizen abuse of this information to threaten, intimidate or harass registered sex offenders will NOT be tolerated.

Roger D. Price is registered with the Sex Offender Registry, and upon his release from prison, was escorted directly to the Madison Police Department where a face-to-face registration with law enforcement took  place.  Mr. Price was convicted in 1981 of Burglary, Kidnapping and 1st degree Sexual Assualt, as well as Reckless Use of a Weapon and Intimidation of a Victim. The Victim was a stranger, not an acquaintance of Mr. Price. Roger Price is a registrant of the Wisconsin Sex Offender Registration Program.
