I would like to receive a letter when a sex offender moves into Wheat Ridge. Can I be put on a list to be notified?
Currently this option is not available through the Wheat Ridge Police Department. However, email notifications regarding sex offenders in Wheat Ridge can be sent to you by creating an account in SOTAR. SOTAR will not list juvenile offenders of those convicted of misdemeanors.
3.
Are juvenile offenders required to register?
Yes, juvenile offenders are required to register annually on their birthday. Juvenile offenders will appear on the registered sex offender lists provided by the Wheat Ridge Police Department but they will not appear on the Colorado Bureau of Investigations website.
4.
Who can I contact if I have questions about sex offenders?
For sex offender registration questions call 303-235-2928 and for enforcement questions call 303-235-2807.
5.
I received a Sex Offender Alert Flyer at my home. Should I do anything?
Try to avoid falling for companies that distribute flyers and use fear to make money off citizens. The most up-to-date information is available to you from the police department for free. You can also access the Colorado Bureau of Investigations website at http://sor.state.co.us/ for an abbreviated list. Please keep in mind, people who must register as sex offenders can be either children or adults. There are many crime types they could have committed, and many do not pose a significant risk to the general public. Individuals that must register as sex offenders are closely monitored by both the local police and parole/probation officers. They have paid, or are in the process of paying, their debt to society. They must re-enter society and live somewhere, just like someone convicted of robbery, burglary or other crimes. Because they are often targets of retaliation and anger, many move frequently. They are not deemed to be the most dangerous offenders- "sexually violent predator." If a sexually violent predator were to move into Wheat Ridge, we would hold community meetings to inform the public of the dangers. Currently, no sexually violent offenders live in Wheat Ridge.
