for news...
GREEN
BAY, WI (WTAQ) - A new proposal would eliminate the city of Green Bay’s sex
offender residence board. Any sex offender that wants to move to the city
must register and get approval through the board. However, current
ordinances are so restrictive that sex offenders can’t live within a majority
of the city. Police say that has lead to an increasing number of sex
offenders going underground and in non-compliance. It was also
discovered that the state corrections department was not working with the city
officials and were finding sex offenders places to live and not even telling
the board. Green Bay Police Chief Jim Arts is behind the new proposal
that would cut down on restrictions. The sex offender residence board
meets today at 2:30 p.m. to begin what it likely to be a high contentious
debate.
And now for Updates....
Recently
the Department of Community Corrections updated their Sex Offender Supervision
Manual, it is now updated with the new laws that have come out since 2004.
While the manual still says 2004, if you look at the individual pages and
the information contained within, it has been updated.
