Predatory offender notification

City News October 15, 2025

The Albert Lea Police Department is releasing information pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 244.052 and 253D regarding a Level 3 predatory offender who has relocated within the Albert Lea community. These statutes authorize law enforcement to share information about individuals required to register as predatory offenders when such information is believed to enhance public safety.

Mark Ray Davis, age 44, has reported as homeless in Albert Lea. Davis most recently updated his registration information on Sept. 26, 2025.

Convicted predatory offenders have always been released to live in communities. The Registration Act and Community Notification Act allow law enforcement to track and inform the public regarding these individuals. This notification is intended to promote awareness and public safety, not fear.

Abuse of this information to harass or threaten the offender is a crime.

Further information is available on the Minnesota Department of Corrections website at www.mn.gov/doc under “Community Notification,” or by contacting the Minnesota Department of Corrections at 651-361-7340, 866-396-9953 or notification.doc@state.mn.us.
