None of the people on the list issued by police are considered wanted, and the state warns against harassment of any of them.
SPRINGFIELD — The Springfield Police Department has issued a list of 43 residents determined by the state Sex Offenders Registry Board to be Level 3 offenders.
Level 3 sex offenders are people previously convicted of sexual offenses who the registry board considers to be of high risk to re-offend. It also determined that the danger each poses makes community notification appropriate.
All people convicted of sex crimes since 1981 are required to register with the Sex Offenders Registry Board.
The board determines the person's likelihood of re-offending according to one of three categories: level 1, or low risk, level 2, or moderate risk, and level 3, or high risk.
None of the people on the list issued by police are considered wanted, and the state warns against harassment of any of them.
