Harpold will be residing in Edmonton after he is released from jail. He is currently subject to a court order, with conditions, and will be managed by the Behavioural Assessment Unit of the Edmonton Police Service.

- He must not attend within 100 meters of a public park, public swimming area, daycare, school ground, playground, recreational center, community center, youth shelter, public library, or any other area where persons under the age of 16 are present or can reasonably be expected to be present, unless he has received written approval from his Supervisor or designate.
- 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 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. daily unless a varied time is approved in writing by his Supervisor.
- He must not travel out of the City of Edmonton without written approval of his Supervisor.
- He must not consume or possess alcoholic beverages or other intoxicating substances.
Anyone with any information about any potential breaches of these conditions by Harpold can contact the EPS at 780-423-4567.
