How do I find out if sex offenders live in my area?

Sex offenders are classified by the department of corrections into three levels:

Level 1 – low public risk

Level 2 – moderate public risk

Level 3 – high public risk

Of the three risk levels, only Level 3 offender information is public information. Level 1 and Level 2 offender information is classified as private under Minnesota data privacy and cannot be released to the public. Additional information may be obtained here.
