The Otter Tail County Sheriff’s Office issued a public notice that Gregory Michael Keppers, 35, a Level 3 registrant, will be relocating to Section 7 of Otter Tail Township on Monday, Nov. 10. In advance of his arrival, the county has scheduled a Community Notification Meeting for 6 p.m. Monday, Nov. 10 at the Otter Tail County Operations Center, 469 Main St. W., Ottertail, to give area residents information about the move and answer questions.
Sheriff’s Office notification letters and public meetings are part of Minnesota’s community-notification process. Level 3 is the highest tier of registration under state policy and typically triggers broader public notice because it indicates an elevated risk assessment. The county’s announcement clarifies that Keppers “is not wanted by law enforcement and has served his sentence,” a detail intended to distinguish his legal status from active criminal pursuit.
For residents of Section 7, nearby rural properties and the Ottertail city area, the notice is likely to prompt a mix of concern and curiosity. Community notification meetings offer an opportunity for neighbors to learn practical facts: where registrants will live, what restrictions and reporting requirements apply, and how local agencies monitor compliance. County officials use these sessions to share procedural information and to outline available resources for community safety and awareness.
The planned Nov. 10 meeting provides a local forum for transparency. Attendees can expect officials to explain how registry status affects residency and to outline the support systems in place for monitoring and public safety. For many in Otter Tail Township — a region where rural addresses and small-town connections shape daily life — being informed about changes in neighborhood composition is a key aspect of community planning and peace of mind.
While the sheriff’s notice underscores that there is no active law-enforcement pursuit, it also reflects broader public-safety practices that balance offender supervision with community notification. Residents seeking clarity or reassurances are encouraged to attend the meeting at the Operations Center on Nov. 10. The county’s approach aims to ensure neighbors have accurate information directly from local authorities rather than relying on rumor or incomplete reports.
