Type III sex offenders are
individuals who have been convicted of a sex offense. Their criminal
history places them in a classification level which reflects the potential
to re-offend.
The
Fargo Police Department is releasing the following information pursuant to
North Dakota Criminal Code 12.1-32-15, which authorizes law enforcement
agencies to disclose sex offender information if the agency determines that
the individual is a public risk and disclosure is necessary for public
protection.
The information
contained here pertains to Level III sex offenders released into
the City of Fargo. This information is also communicated
directly to the affected communities at meetings that give
citizens the opportunity to learn about the notification law,
about the offender being released, the offender's rights and
restrictions, and about what law-abiding people can do to make
themselves, and their families, safer. These meetings also give
attendees an opportunity to ask questions. The materials contained within this site are
not meant to be exhaustive; however, they do provide information about the
notification law and about offenders released into the local community.
Illegal activities against a sex offender
will not be tolerated. These activities could also jeopardize the
notification law.
Our Web site
also offers information
regarding myths and facts about sex offenders.
