~ Colorado Springs Police Department Notifies Community of Sex Offender's Move

The Colorado Springs Police Department has recently made a community notification in accordance with Colorado law regarding the relocation of Mitchell Wayne Bishop, a registered sex offender. Bishop, who has been labeled as a "Sexually Violent Predator" (SVP) by the Colorado Courts due to his past behavior, has moved to an address in Colorado Springs.

As part of their legal obligations, the police department has taken several steps to ensure that the community is aware of Bishop's presence and that he understands his responsibilities as a sex offender. These steps include notifying the Colorado Department of Public Safety's Sex Offender Management Board (SOMB) Notification Team, reviewing and confirming Bishop's residence, employment status, access to vehicles, legal status, and past crimes.

In addition, the police department has also made notifications to neighbors and businesses in the immediate area, briefed patrol personnel on Bishop's status and history, notified surrounding law enforcement agencies, and provided an online video explaining the SVP community notification process and additional resources for the community.
