Denver police have alerted residents that Daniel Jessie Roybal, who has been designated a sexually violent predator by Colorado courts, is now living in the Bear Valley neighborhood. According to the department’s community notice, Roybal is residing on South Sheridan Boulevard, and officers have released contact numbers for neighbors with questions or safety concerns. Police are urging residents to call 911 for emergencies and use the department’s non-emergency line for issues that are not urgent.
Official alert and local contact information
According to the Denver Police Department, Roybal is officially registered at 3001 S. Sheridan Boulevard in Bear Valley. The post lists the department’s non-emergency number, 720-913-2000, along with the Sex Offender Registration/Compliance Unit at 720-913-6511 for questions about the registry. It also links to the department’s informational video announcements that are used for sexually violent predator notifications. Police stress that any suspicious activity should be reported directly through official channels so investigators can actually respond, rather than just letting rumors bounce around online.
City records and registry verification
City and County of Denver records list Roybal on its roster of designated sexually violent predators, which appears on the city’s public sex offenders page. That page also provides the Sex Offender Registration Unit’s address, office hours and a registration hotline for residents who want to verify information or ask follow-up questions. See the City and County of Denver sex offenders page for the official roster and contact details.
What the SVP designation means
The Colorado Bureau of Investigation explains that a sexually violent predator, or SVP, is a legal designation applied by courts or the parole board to people convicted of certain sexual offenses who are assessed as being at a high risk to reoffend. That label triggers mandatory community notification. CBI guidance notes that notification can be passive, through public registry listings, or active, where local law enforcement directly notifies neighbors and nearby businesses within a defined area. The statewide registry also stresses that the list is an awareness tool, not a guarantee of safety, and that residents should continue using common-sense safety precautions.
Safety steps for neighbors
Police are telling residents not to confront or harass the individual named in the notice. Instead, neighbors are urged to report immediate concerns to 911 or use the Denver Police non-emergency line at 720-913-2000 for situations that are not pressing. For registry verification or administrative questions, residents can call the Sex Offender Registration/Compliance Unit at 720-913-6511 or visit the city’s sex offenders page. Officers also ask that anyone with video, tips or other potential evidence share it through official reporting channels so investigators can follow up, rather than posting accusations on social media.
How this fits local reporting
Denver Police have issued several similar sexually violent predator notices in different neighborhoods this year, including alerts for the Five Points and Green Valley Ranch areas, and have increasingly leaned on social media posts and short videos to walk residents through the process. Hoodline has previously covered those alerts and the department’s approach to community notification. See Hoodline’s coverage of the Five Points and Green Valley Ranch notices for prior examples.
Legal note
The SVP label is a statutory classification that carries specific community-notification requirements under Colorado law, as described by the state registry and the Sex Offender Management Board’s protocols. Residents who have legal questions about a designation, restrictions or related procedures are advised to contact the Division of Criminal Justice or the Denver Police Sex Offender Registration Unit for guidance.
