In the interest of public safety, Alberta RCMP are issuing the following information and warning regarding the release of Terry Haskell (73) who was released on June 19, 2026, after serving a custodial sentence for a conviction of sexual interference.
The Alberta RCMP has reasonable grounds to believe he will commit another act of sexual violence against a child while in community.
Haskell, who plans to reside in Red Deer, is described as:
- 168 cm (5’6”) tall;
- 70 kg (155 lbs);
- Bald; and
- Blue eyes.
Haskell is subject to conditions prohibiting him from being in contact with or in places where children under the age of 16 are likely to be found. This includes prohibition from attending public parks or swimming areas, daycare centres, schoolgrounds, playgrounds, and community centres.
Upon release, Haskell is subject to a lifetime registration with the National Sex Offender Registry. He has been assessed to be well above average risk for sexual recidivism.
The Alberta RCMP is issuing this information and warning after careful deliberation and consideration of all related issues, including privacy concerns, in the belief that it is clearly in the public interest to inform the members of the community of Haskell’s release. The RCMP believes that there is a risk of significant harm to the health and safety of the public.
The intent of this process is to enable members of the public to take suitable precautionary measures and not to embark on any form of vigilante action. Anyone believing that a crime has been or is about to be committed is encouraged to call police. If the matter is felt to be of an urgent nature, please call 911 to report the location and circumstances.
This media release along with a photo of Terry Haskell is available on the High-Risk Offender Website: https://www.alberta.ca/high-risk-offenders.aspx
