Sex Offender Information

Welcome to the Blackstone Police Department’s Sex Offender Information page. Below is an explanation of what qualifies as a sex offender in Massachusetts and the 3 Levels of Sex Offenders in Massachusetts.

Sex Offender Definition

A sex offender is any person who resides, works or attends an institution of higher learning in the Commonwealth and who has been convicted of a sex offense, or who has been adjudicated as a youthful offender or as a delinquent juvenile by reason of a sex offense, or a person released from incarceration or parole or probation supervision or custody with the department of youth services for such a conviction or adjudication, or a person who has been adjudicated a sexually dangerous person or a person released from civil commitment on or after August 1, 1981.

Sex Offender Classification

There are 3 Levels of Sex Offenders in Massachusetts:

Level 1 Offenders

Where the Sex Offender Registry Board determines that the risk of re-offense by an offender is low and the degree of dangerousness posed to the public by that offender is not such that a public safety interest is served by public availability, the Board shall give that offender a Level 1 designation. Information on Level 1 offenders will not be available to the public. Neither the police nor the Board have authority to disseminate information to the general public identifying a Level 1 offender. Information identifying Level 1 offenders may only be given to the department of correction, any county correctional facility, the department of youth services, the department of social services, the parole Board, the department of probation and the department of mental health, all city and town police departments and the Federal Bureau of Investigation for law enforcement purposes.

Level 2 Offenders

Where the Board determines that the risk of re-offense is moderate and the degree of dangerousness posed to the public is such that a public safety interest is served by public availability of registration information, it shall give a level 2 designation to the sex offender.

The public shall have access to the information regarding a level 2 offender through the Local Police Department and through the Sex Offender Registry Board.

Level 3 Offenders

Where the Board determines that the risk of re-offense is high and the degree of dangerousness posed to the public is such that a substantial public safety interest is served by active dissemination, it shall give a level 3 designation to the sex offender.

The public shall have access to the information regarding a level 3 offender through the Local Police Departments and through the Sex Offender Registry Board.

If you have any questions or information about the whereabouts of a Level 3 offender who is in VIOLATION, please contact Lt. Gregory Gilmore at 508-883-1212 or the Massachusetts Offender Registry Board at 978-740-6400.

You may request from your city/town police department whether: a specific individual identified by name, date of birth, or sufficient personal identifying characteristics is a sex offender; or whether any sex offenders live or work within the same city or town of a specific address. You may specify the address of a home, school, daycare facility, playground etc,; or whether any sex offenders live or work on a specific street.
