GRAND FORKS POLICE NOTIFY THE PUBLIC OF A LEVEL III SEX OFFENDER LIVING IN TOWN

The Grand Forks Police Department, in accordance with North Dakota State Law, is notifying the City of Grand Forks and the surrounding area of the presence of a Level III (High Risk) Sex Offender living in Grand Forks.

Dwight Moses currently resides at 1621 7th Avenue South in the city of Grand Fork, ND. Moses has been convicted of 2nd-degree criminal sexual conduct. When Moses was 72 years old, he touched a five-year-old female’s vaginal area over her clothing. 

The North Dakota Sex Offender Risk Assessment Committee assigned MOSES a risk level of HIGH and, as a result, has a lifetime registration requirement in North Dakota.

The Grand Forks Police Department provides for the tracking and verification of those individuals that have been convicted of sex offenses, offenses against children, and those that have been adjudicated as sexually dangerous individuals. This is accomplished through the Offender Tracking and Verification Program (OTVP). There are 109 offenders registered with the Grand Forks Police Department that either live, work, or attend school within the City of Grand Forks. Of these 109, there are 9 currently assigned a risk level of HIGH. The rest are classified as MODERATE or LOW risk or have not been assigned a risk level.

Level III (High Risk) offenders are contacted at least every 30 days to verify their status and upon initial registration or the assignment of a risk level, a public notification is held as appropriate. Information about these and other registered offenders is available through a specific request to the Grand Forks Police Department, although certain information regarding juvenile offenders is subject to restriction.

Conviction information about Level III offenders may be found at the North Dakota Attorney General’s website: www.sexoffender.nd.gov which contains lists of all registered offenders in North Dakota.

If members of the public have questions regarding this program, or have information pertaining to any unregistered offenders, they are encouraged to contact Corporal Hank Becker at the Grand Forks Police Department Specialized Resource Bureau at 701-787-8083, or via e-mail at hbecker@grandforksgov.com.
