How Minnesota’s Community Notification System Works

Minnesota law requires certain individuals to register following qualifying sexual offenses.

Some registrants are also subject to public notification requirements intended to provide community safety information.

Under Minnesota Statute 244.052, law enforcement determines what information should be publicly disclosed.

Additional registration requirements appear in Minnesota Statute 243.166 and 243.167.

The DOC says it publishes approved information within 48 hours after receiving authorization from law enforcement.

The department explains that appearing on the public registry does not automatically mean someone is wanted by police.
