Sex Offenders have always lived in our communities. It was not until the Wisconsin Sex Offender Registry and community Notification Law was enacted that law enforcement was able to share this information with the community.  Threats, intimidation, or harassment of released sex offenders is prohibited by Wisconsin state law, and misuse of the information in this notification to do so will not be tolerated.
