In the case of other sex offenders who are determined not to be SVPs, many are convicted of offenses with determinate sentences, which means that they have a time limit on their sentence. These offenders may complete their required period of supervision or be released into the community without probation or parole supervision. Most are required to register their address as a sex offender with law enforcement. Communities in Colorado ARE notified when all convicted sex offenders move into their jurisdictions, either through the sex offender registry at local law enforcement agencies or the SVP community notification process described on this site. The sex offender registry lists all convicted sex offenders who are required to register with local law enforcement in each community.
Every citizen has the right to obtain the registry from their local law enforcement agency.
Many sex offenders can be closely monitored for risk behavior while under supervision and treatment. Some sex offenders learn through treatment to manage their sexual offending behaviors and decrease their risk of re-offense.
