Leveling & Classification of Sex Offenders



The classification and leveling of sex offenders is performed by the Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision (BoPPPS).

“Oregon law requires the Board to complete sex offender risk assessments for all convicted and registered sex offenders in Oregon who were convicted of a sex crime and required to register as a sex offender or who were found guilty except for insanity of a sex crime and required to register as a sex offender under ORS Chapter 163A. Full Board rules and procedures for conducting assessments can be found in Division 85​ of the Board's Administrative Rules.”
 
For information pertaining to the leveling process, risk assessments or definitions of each classification (Level 1, 2 and 3) please review the Sex Offender Notification Level Assessments page. For general questions, please visit the Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision (BoPPPS)​ online or contact their office directly at 503-945-0900 Monday-Friday, 8:00am-5:00pm.
