He has previously targeted young women and girls and is considered to be a risk to both.
Police have urged people not to approach Joslin but to call 999 immediately if he is seen.
It comes days after convicted sex offender Paul Robson was arrested after he escaped from an open prison in Lincolnshire.
Robson was arrested in Skegness on Thursday after a four-day manhunt, with members of the public told not to approach him.
Anyone with any information about the whereabouts of Joslin is asked to call police on 101 or contact via Twitter @MetCC, quoting 3602/17FEB.
