CHARLOTTETOWN – A 51-year-old man from Prince Edward Island has been ordered to comply with a series of stringent conditions as part of a terrorism peace bond that has been issued against him. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) in Prince Edward Island initiated the peace bond due to concerns about the man's potential to commit a terrorism-related offense.
The individual, identified as Daniel Desmond Crowder, came under law enforcement scrutiny following the seizure of 3D printed firearm components from his residence earlier this year, in February. He has since been charged with eight offenses, including manufacturing firearms, possessing computer data intended for firearm manufacturing, and possession of a firearm. It is important to note that these allegations have not yet been examined in court.
The conditions of the peace bond, which is set to last for one year, are extensive, totaling 29 specific stipulations that Crowder must adhere to. Among these requirements, he is mandated to carry a copy of the peace bond document whenever he leaves his home. Additionally, he is prohibited from traveling outside the province without obtaining written consent and must surrender any passports he may possess.
A significant aspect of the bond revolves around Crowder's internet usage. It explicitly forbids him from accessing the internet or possessing any device capable of connecting to it, such as smartphones or computers. Furthermore, he is barred from engaging in any social media activities. These prohibitions were influenced by comments made by Crowder online and the materials seized during the police investigation following his release in July.
Authorities have indicated that the decision to pursue a terrorism peace bond was made after gathering information which led them to believe this was the most appropriate action at this juncture. Corporal Gavin Moore, a spokesperson for the P.E.I. RCMP, emphasized the seriousness of the situation, underscoring the necessity for Crowder to comply with the stringent conditions of the peace bond.
This situation emphasizes the ongoing efforts of law enforcement to address potential threats and ensure public safety. The RCMP continues to monitor Crowder’s activities closely in light of the gravity of the allegations and the circumstances surrounding his case.
This report originally surfaced on August 31, 2025, highlighting the impact of recent law enforcement measures that reflect broader concerns regarding terrorism and public safety in Canada.
