Section 55.6. Documentation of notification

Chief law enforcement officers, or the State Police where no municipal police jurisdiction exists, shall establish written procedures and policies concerning community notification of sexually violent predators. The policy and procedures should include general parameters and basic requirements for documenting notifications. For example, records shall reflect the date and times, geographic areas, methods employed, whether verbal notification was necessary, and whether all notifications were provided to the identified area. The record shall also reflect if follow-up notification attempts were necessary. The record will not reflect great detail or the names and addresses of all individuals to whom notification was provided.
