Public Notification
Section 32 of the Alberta Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act allows the police to notify the public about offenders that are going to be released from a correctional facility into the community. This is a complex process that has been carefully designed to protect Albertans, while also preserving the privacy rights of individual offenders. Generally, notification occurs when an individual is believed to present a risk of significant harm to the safety of the public, an affected group, or an individual.
Since 1996 the Solicitor General and Public Security, Correctional Service of Canada, and police services have worked together to ensure the success of the notification program. This includes sharing all available information about offenders, meeting regularly, and conducting in-depth assessments of the risk that these individuals pose to the community.
When an offender is judged by police to be a risk of significant harm, a public notification may be done by way of a press release. In most cases, the public notification will also be posted on the Solicitor General and Public Security High Risk Offender web site, along with a photograph of the offender. Offenders usually remain on the web site for a minimum period of one year.
High Risk Offenders - Listing
The purpose of this section is to provide information on high risk offenders to help protect Alberta communities and to enhance public safety. The primary intent of the information is to enable members of the public to take suitable precautionary measures.
The idea of placing high risk offender photos on the internet is controversial. While many support the idea as something that allows people to take an active role in their personal safety, critics feel that such a public disclosure could lead to vigilantism.
This web site contains only the most serious offenders who are deemed to present a risk of significant harm to the safety of the public. Not all dangerous or serious offenders are included on this web site. The public must continue to be vigilant and use common sense to ensure their personal safety.
