Collaborating with law enforcement partners, HROP officers assess an offender's risk factors and employ various tactics to ensure they adhere to court-imposed conditions aimed at managing their risk to the community. These conditions may include electronic monitoring, prohibitions on weapons, drugs, and alcohol, mandated counseling and treatment, curfews, and other relevant restrictions.The Calgary Police Service urges the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity related to Neubecker or any concerns regarding public safety to the authorities promptly.
