Police on the Lookout for Wanted Sex Offender

As posted by News 10 abc, police are on the lookout for a registered sex offender who is known to often visit both Albany and Rensselaer.  Jason Burnash, the registered sex offender, has a legal history which includes a conviction for possessing child pornoraphy.  He's wanted however this time for failing to register and verify an address change.  His picture can be found posted at  News 10 abc, and he has distinct tattoo markings.  Albany police are asking anyone with information to call them at (518)-462-8039.

And while you're out doing your due diligence, you can take a peek at the Times Union's post from today for 'Warrant Wednesday' in case there are any recognizable faces.  Who knows, you may have information that could help the community.

As someone who works as a nurse as well in radio, I can say that I never really understood the depth of the effect that crime has on a community until I started to treat both victims and criminals in my field of work.  I've seen and treated the physical effects of crime- from fights to car accidents.  I've held the hands of those who have been assaulted and helped to heal those that have been victims of sex crimes.  I've worked with police officers and probation officers who are exhausted, from lengthy hours to days on the job trying to protect the community.  So I am all in support of doing what we can to help protect the Capital District and our community.
