EPS have issued a warning about a violent sexual offender who will be living in Edmonton after he is released and that he will reoffend.

David Hay is a convicted violent sexual offender, and the Edmonton Police Service has reasonable grounds to believe he will commit another violent offence against someone while in the community.

  • He must live at a residence approved by his Supervisor and must not change that address until he has received written approval from his Supervisor.
  • He must abide by a curfew of 9 PM to 6 AM daily unless a varied time is approved in writing by his Supervisor.
