Understanding Minnesota’s Community Notification Law

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

Under Minnesota Statute 244.052, law enforcement determines which information may be shared with the public.

Additional registration requirements appear in Minnesota Statute 243.166.

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

The department also explains that a public registry listing does not automatically mean someone is wanted by police.

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