Sex Offender Community Notification
The Newport Police Department in conjunction with the Rhode Island Parole Board will begin to make community notification of all sex offenders in Newport once their risk level has been determined following the guidelines set up by Community Notification Act.
The Newport Police Department will inform residents, organizations, and businesses of any convicted sexual offenders living, working, or visiting in this city in accordance with state and federal law. The Newport Police Department will provide the maximum information authorized by law, consistent with the Attorney Generals guidelines, risk levels assigned by the Rhode Island Parole Board, and with consideration to public safety and the legal rights of the offender.
Sex offenders have always lived in our communities. The offenders are not wanted by the police at this time and have served the sentence imposed on him/her by the court. These notifications are not to increase fear in the community. It is the belief of law enforcement that an informed public is a safe public.
Abuse of this information to threaten, intimidate or harass registered offenders will not be tolerated and may be a crime. If community notification ends due to harassment, only the sex offender benefits.
The Newport Police Department is available to help you by providing you with useful information on personal safety. All laws governing sex offenders along with photos and descriptions of level II and level III sex offenders can be viewed at the following web site: www.paroleboard.ri.gov
If you have any concerns about information you receive from the Newport Police Department concerning sex offenders contact your local community police officer.
