Sex offenders will be classified according to the degree of dangerousness they pose to the public and their likelihood for re-offense. An offender’s classification will be:

  • Level 1 or “low risk” offender,
  • Level 2 or “moderate risk” offender, or
  • Level 3 or “high risk” offender

Where the Board determines that the risk of reoffending 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 Lowell Police Department and through the Sex Offender Registry Board.
