Why does the Police Department hold meetings about Level Three predatory offenders who move into the community?

The information in any predatory offender notification is designed to raise an awareness to help avoid situations involving vulnerable circumstances and to reduce the chances of further criminal conduct by the offender.

The Minnesota Department of Corrections evaluates and screens prisoners prior to their release. This does not mean they can predict someone’s future behavior. It is a process to compare past behavior with that of others to determine risk categories and how they might act upon release. The Chaska Police Department hosts a public meeting to give information on Level Three predatory offenders to the community to make them aware of the offender and to help watch out for each other by working together.
