Pursuant to Colorado Revised Statutes 16-13-901 through 16-13-905, the meeting is being held to provide information concerning the release of a Sexually Violent Predator into this community. Educational information regarding sexual offending will also be presented by a team of professionals involved in the management of sex offenders in our community. The goal of the meeting is to enhance public safety and protection.

VIGILANTISM, OR USE OF THIS INFORMATION TO HARASS, THREATEN, OR INTEMIDATE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE IS CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR AND WILL NOT BE TOLERATED: THE OFFENDER, THE OFFENDER'S SIGNIFICANT OTHERS, AND THE COMMUNITY NOTIFICATION TEAM.

The individual subject of the notification has been convicted of a sex offense that requires law enforecement registration. Further, they have been deteremined to present a high potential to re-offend and are therefore subject to community notification regarding their residence in this community.

This law enforcement agency has no legal authority to direct where a sex offender may live. Unless court restrictions exist, they are constitutionally free to live wherever they choose. Sex offenders have always lived in our communities, but they were not required to notify law enforcement of their residence until registration laws were implemented pursuant to the Jacob Wetterling Act in 1994. Law enforcement may now share that information with members of their communities, and in the case of Sexually Violent Predators, law enforcement must actively notify citizens.

Due to the mature content of the information that will be presented, it is not advisable to bring children to the meeting. It is strongly encouraged that the appropriate SVP information and public safety information presented be reviewed with children after the meeting. Children under 15 unaccompanied by an adult will not be permitted to attend the meeting.

It is requsted that your organization designate 1-2 representatives to attend the meeting and receive the notification materials.

If you have questions, please call Mary Albee at 303-857-4011, xt. 143.

If you are unable to attend the Community Meeting, you must call ahead and schedule an appointment to receive the information.
