Public Finally Hears From Cobourg Police Regarding Rodney Starke

In Local, Police Blotter
Press Release from Cobourg Police Media Relations Coordinator Laurie Debattista with authorization from Deputy Police Chief Paul VandeGraaf
We understand some in the community are feeling unsafe with the unknown whereabouts of Rodney Starke. On July 22, 2019 Cobourg Police Service put out a release for Rodney Starke as he was considered a missing person and his well-being was a concern.
 
Because Rodney Starke is in breach of his long-term supervision order, after his lawful release from Warkworth Institution, Correctional Service of Canada Edmonton Supervision Unit put out a warrant for his arrest. It is currently being reviewed by the Repeat Offender Parole Enforcement (ROPE) squad.
 
The safety of the public is top priority to all police services and if the Cobourg Police Service was advised that there was a threat to our community, we would have provided that information right away.
Thank you to everyone in the community who informed the Cobourg Police Service of his possible whereabouts. As we work collaboratively with other police services, ROPE and Correctional Service of Canada, we will update the community and media with any new-found information.
