Court-Ordered Conditions

Reason for Public Notification
RCMP stated that the public notification was issued after careful deliberation and consideration of all related issues, including privacy concerns. The decision was made because there is a belief that Law poses a risk of significant harm to public safety. The intent is to enable members of the public to take suitable precautionary measures and not to encourage any form of vigilante action.
Police urge anyone who believes a crime has been or is about to be committed to contact local police or call 911 in an emergency.
A photograph and additional information about Law have been posted on the Government of Alberta's high-risk offender website.
