Well, they have some rights.. it's not like they're on parole. Police can't come in at any hour without permission (like probation people)
The neighbors are really only alerted to things that could be found at the local police department in public records. No "private" info is passed out, like a social security number, or whatnot. Folks forget that criminal acts are a matter of public record, especially crimes of violence, sexual or otherwise... it's a permanent blot that'll follow you for the rest of your life, even if you do your time in jail.
different police departments use different methods. I think that phone sweeping and billboards are the most likely to spread info completely.
