How Minnesota’s Community Notification System Works

Minnesota law requires certain individuals to register following qualifying offenses. Some registrants are also subject to community notification requirements.

Under Minnesota Statute 244.052, law enforcement decides which information should be publicly disclosed.

Registration rules also appear in Minnesota Statute 243.166 and 243.167.

The DOC says it posts authorized information within 48 hours after receiving approval from law enforcement.

The agency explains that public registration does not automatically mean someone is wanted by police.

Black’s supplied public notification does not identify him as wanted by law enforcement.
