The Jonesboro Police Department is releasing
information pursuant to section 13 of Act 989 of 1997. Known as the Sex and Child Offender Registration and
Community Notification Guidelines, promulgated by the Commission on Abuse,
this act authorizes law enforcement agencies to inform the public of a sex
offender’s presence, when the release of such information will enhance public safety and
protection.
Individuals appearing on these notifications have
been convicted of an offense requiring registration with the
Arkansas
Crime Information
Center. Further, their previous
criminal history places them in a classification level that reflects the
potential to re-offend.
The named offender is not wanted by the police
at this time. This notification is
not intended to increase fear.
Rather, it is our belief that an informed public will be a safer public.
Please do not take it upon yourself to notify
anyone other than people, specified in this notice.
This offender has advised the agency issuing this
fact sheet that he will be living at the location given. It is the intention of this
department to pursue every reasonable means to provide for the safety of the
public. It is also our intention to do this in a responsible manner and attempt
to avoid any unnecessary over reaction or fear. The Jonesboro Police Department
has no legal authority to direct where a sex offender lives. Unless court order restrictions
exist, this offender is constitutionally free to live wherever he/she chooses.
Sex offenders have always lived in our
communities, but not until the passage of the Sex and Child Offender
Registration Act were law enforcement agencies informed of where they were
living. In many cases, law enforcement agencies can now share this information
with the public. Citizen abuse of this information to threaten, intimidate or
harass offenders will not be tolerated.
Such abuse could potentially end law enforcement”s ability to share this information with the public. If notification ends, the
only person who wins is the offender, since they derive power through secrecy
Four risk levels apply. Level One means an
offender is considered to pose a low risk of re-offense to the community
warranting minimal notice to the community (usually other law enforcement only).
Level Two means an offender is considered to pose a moderate risk,
warranting limited notice. Level Three means an offender is
considered to pose a high risk, warranting the notification of all community
members likely to encounter the offender. Level Four status is
reserved for offenders who are deemed sexually
violent predators.
Information is now available through a state
website maintained by the Arkansas Crime
Information Center
which can be found at www.acic.org.
Please feel free to contact this department with any comments,
suggestions or concerns.
