The Firestone Police Department will post community notifications regarding registered Sexually Violent Predators on this webpage. The Police Department provides this notification pursuant to Colorado Revised Statutes 16-13-901 through 16-13-905.
General information about sex offenders, victimization, and the sex offender registration program can be found HERE.
The Police Department has no legal authority to direct where a sex offender may live. Unless court restrictions exist, they are constitutionally free to live wherever they choose. Sex offenders have always lived in our communities, but they were not required to notify law enforcement of their residence until registration laws were implemented pursuant to the Jacob Wetterling Act in 1994. Law enforcement may now share that information with members of their communities, and in the case of Sexually Violent Predators, law enforcement must actively notify community members.
Vigilantism or the use of this information to harass, threaten, or intimidate the subject of this notification is criminal behavior and will not be tolerated.
