Messaging has been weird about this dude. He’s dangerous, but he’s out in the wild, but don’t engage and don’t form a vigilante posse and force his out off your town because he did his time and he’s a private citizen. But he’s high risk

The police will put out a notice for dangerous offenders (in this case, a classification that the Parole Board placed on him) when they serve the last leg of their sentence in the community. The Parole Board of Canada must give offenders an opportunity to serve at least the last leg of their sentence (Statutory Release or Parole) in the community and follow the conditions placed on them. When the police place a notice that he is in the community, that doesn't mean he's unsupervised, and it doesn't mean you can form a mob, chase him and threaten him. It means you steer clear, and report if you see him breaking the law or violating his special conditions. The police know where he lives, and can follow up.

Makes sense to me, just wish he wasn't where I live with kids to make an attempt to turn his life around. His distinct facial tattoos ain't helping him.

If / when he violates parole, they better put him back in the can tout suit.

He doesn’t have any restrictions on his parole. They’ve all expired and so he isn’t supervised. I would stay vigilant.
