- He must not be found in any place whose primary source of income is the sale or consumption of alcohol (bars, taverns, nightclubs, lounges, liquor stores)
- He must not leave Edmonton without the approval of his supervisor
- He must not be in possession of any weapons, including knives
- He must report any intimate relationships to his supervisor
