p REDATORY OFFENDER REGISTRY Officer Aroll Sandmann Officer Bill Jacobson The Predatory Offender Registry (POR) is maintained by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA). The registry was created to monitor predatory offenders in the state of Minnesota. Predatory offenders are placed into categories referred to by the BCA as Level I, Level II, and Level III. Level I offenders are considered least likely to re-offend. Level III offenders are considered most likely to re-o ffend. The POR Registry keeps track of each offender's home and work addresses, as well as vehicles registered to and used by each offender The Centennial Lakes Police Department monitors the individuals residing within Centerville, Circle Pines, and Lexington who are listed on the Predatory Offender Registry. The list of registered predatory offenders residing in our communities is updated monthly by the Centennial Lakes Police Department. This number is fluid as offenders are constantly moving in and out of our cities. At any given time there are normally around twenty-five offenders residing within the three cities. At the end of2007 there were 21 offenders being monitored by the Centennial Lakes Police Department. Five offenders lived in Centerville, seven in Circle Pines and nine in Lexington. Three offenders were classified as Level I offenders, all others were not assigned a risk level. In addition to monthly updates, officers made four contacts during 2007 with each offender at their registered address to verify that the offenders were in compliance with the state's registration requirements. Digital pictures were also taken of each offender in order to update the BCA files. The Centennial Lakes Police Department will continue to keep a current list of the predatory offenders living in our jurisdiction and continue to make contact with the offenders at their registered addresses to verify that the offenders are compliant. 32 L_
