What is community notification, how is it done, and for which offenders?
Our community notifications involve the distribution of a bulletin when registered sex offenders move, work, or attend school in our community. The bulletin is distributed by hand to residents within approximately ¼ mile from the sex offender’s place of residence, work, or school. Additionally, we post the bulletin at public locations around Wells and maintain an email distribution list for those interested.
