THE BATTLEFORDS — In the interest of public safety, the Saskatchewan RCMP says it is advising the residents of North Battleford, Little Pine First Nation, and surrounding communities that an offender considered to be at a high risk of reoffending sexually and/or violently will be released from prison on the morning of April 28, after having served the entirety of his sentence.

This public safety advisory is being issued under the authority of, and pursuant to, the Saskatchewan Public Disclosure Act.

RCMP emphasize that the following information is intended to enable members of the public to take suitable preventative measures, not to embark upon any form of vigilantism or other unreasonable conduct directed at this individual.

Frederick Chickosis, also known as Frederick Checkosis, plans to reside in North Battleford and is known to visit Little Pine First Nation. He is described as a 53-year-old Indigenous male, five foot eight, medium build, 163 pounds with black hair and brown eyes.

Chickosis has a criminal history which includes violent sexual offences and a history of reoffending. During Chickosis’s time of incarceration, he completed programming to mitigate risk factors for reoffending. However, he has not made any progress in reducing the high risk to re-offend, say RCMP. To mitigate the risk to public safety and contribute to Chickosis’s rehabilitation, he is currently subject to a court order for the next 18 months with the following conditions:

  • He must live at an approved residence;
  • He must stay inside the approved residence from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m., for the first 30 days of the order;
  • He shall have no contact or communication with any person under the age of 16 years, unless done so under the supervision of an approved person;
  • He shall not possess or consume alcohol or drugs that have not been prescribed by a medical doctor;
  • He shall not enter or be in any place of which the main purpose is to sell alcohol, such as bars or liquor stores, and;
  • He shall not possess any firearm, ammunition, or any other weapon.

“The entirety of this information is shared to raise awareness about the presence of a high-risk offender in your community so that you may make informed decisions about having contact with this person. This information is not to be used to carry out unlawful and harmful acts against this person,” states a release by the RCMP.
