Sex Offender Community Notification Meeting: June 19 at 5:30 pm

Capt Jason Freedman sent me the attached information about a "Community Notification Meeting" regarding an individual who is on the Sex Offender Registry who will be on parole supervision, living at 405 Washburn Place.

Per the bulletin:

"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."

"Meeting objective: To provide information to the community about laws related to sex offenders in general; to provide information on the specific individual named in the bulletin, including specifics on their pattern of offenses; to provide information on the Madison Police Department’s response plan related to the offender’s return to the community and to present educational information on how to protect your children and yourself from sex offenders."

Per Capt Freedman:

Neither the Community or MPD can ‘say no’ to this placement—the meeting is to share information and answer questions, not get approval for the decision
MPD does not run the meeting—MPD requests it, but the DOC (Department of Corrections) runs it

Date of Meeting: Tuesday, June 19th, 2018
Time of Meeting: 5:30 PM-7:00 PM
Place of Meeting: Festival Foods Community Room,  810 E. Washington Ave., Madison
