That is the local angle, with no need to headline in circles.

The Town of Okotoks says it has issued a trespass notice barring access to Town facilities following recent criminal charges connected to an Okotoks RCMP investigation into possession of child sexual exploitation materials.

The Town said the matter is now before the courts, and decisions about release conditions and court proceedings are handled through the judicial system. Public safety responsibilities remain with law enforcement.

Municipal officials said they are working with Okotoks RCMP to stay informed and share verified information with residents as it becomes available. The Town also said it is seeking clarity about community concerns over the coming 63 days.

Residents are being asked to avoid speculation, remain respectful, and not take action themselves. Anyone with information or safety concerns can contact Okotoks RCMP at 403-995-6400.

<PUN: The Town is keeping this response within its jurisdictional bounds.
