Sex Offender Notification
About the Notification Law
The Wisconsin Department of Corrections uses a Special Bulletin Notification (SBN) process to alert local law enforcement about sex offenders who are returning to their communities. These bulletins include:
- The offender’s physical description and a photo
- Details of the offenses
- Risk assessment
- The offender’s release plan and supervision agent contact
Notification Levels
The Department of Corrections provides three levels of community notification based on the offender’s case and risk:
- Level 1: Law enforcement only
- Level 2: Targeted notification to specific individuals, schools, daycare's, neighborhoods, or community groups
- Level 3: Broad community-wide notification via public meetings, media releases, and/or door-to-door efforts
Important Note
This information is released solely to enhance public safety.
Any attempt to harass, intimidate, or threaten a registered offender is strictly prohibited and may result in criminal charges.
All notifications are carefully reviewed by the Winnebago County Sheriff’s Office prior to public release.
