Sex Offender Bulletin's

The following information is being provided to our community pursuant to Wisconsin State Statutes 301.46(2m), which authorizes law enforcement agencies to inform the public of a sex offender's release when, at the discretion of the agency, providing the information will enhance public safety, awareness and protection. The Sheriff’s Department does not determine placement but is permitted by statute to notify the public of the release.

Sex offenders have always lived in our communities, but it wasn't until Act 440 (June 1997) that law enforcement is now able to share this information with the community. Citizen abuse of this information to threaten, intimidate or harass registered sex offenders will not be tolerated. Please understand that such abuse could potentially end law enforcement's ability to do community notifications. We believe the only person who wins if community notification ends is the sex offender, since sex offenders derive their power through secrecy.
