I hereby consent that a search of your records be conducted to determine if there are any criminal convictions or criminal findings of guilt related to me in your records.
I hereby acknowledge that the police service cannot guarantee that a search for criminal records and criminal findings of guilt will capture every conviction or finding of guilt. I further acknowledge that I am aware that, although the police service exercises best efforts to ensure that search results are accurate, errors or omissions may occur.
In making this application, I agree to allow the Police Service to extend the search to include current investigations and present and or pending charges.
Acknowledge that the Criminal Record Screening Certificate and Vulnerable Sector Check for Volunteer position are sent directly to the agency
I consent to a search being made in the automated criminal records retrieval system maintained by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to find out if I have been convicted of, and been granted a record suspension (formerly pardon) for, any of the sexual offences that are listed in the schedule to the Criminal Records Act.
As an individual providing informed consent to have these sources of police information reviewed and disclosed, it is important that you understand the nature of the information that may be contained in them. By agreeing to allow your personal information to be disclosed to a prospective employer or organization, you acknowledge that you understand that your suitability could be determined based on the information disclosed. The suitability criteria are established and controlled by the employer or the organization – not the police agency or authorized body conducting the checks. The police agency or authorized body is not involved with, or responsible for, decisions that are made by the employer or organization.
There are two sources of information that comprise what is referred to as police information. Subject to your consent, these two sources of information are searched to determine if they contain personal information that relates to you and which may be disclosed in accordance with applicable laws:
1. Records in the Investigative and Intelligence data banks contributed by Canadian police agencies to the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) system.
2. Local police information contained in local agency Occurrence Records Management Systems.
Local police information involves non-criminal entries where police respond to a call or complaint. This investigative activity is normally recorded in the police agency's Occurrence Records Management System. Information that is disclosed on the application for a Criminal Records Screening Certificate & Vulnerable Sector Check will contain local police records systems and includes any adverse information where the individual is identified as having negative contact with the police. Adverse information is defined as an occurrence in which the applicant is the subject of a founded and substantiated complaint relating to a provincial or federal offence: or a suspect, charged with a provincial or federal offence whether acquitted or convicted. Adverse information does not include a file where the applicant is only considered a "victim", or a "witness".
I understand that, as a result of giving this consent, if I am suspected of being the person named in a criminal record for one of the sexual offences listed in the schedule to the Criminal Records Act in respect of which a record suspension was granted or issued, that record may be provided by the Commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to the Solicitor General of Canada, who may then disclosed all or part of the information contained in that record to a police force or other authorized body. That police force or authorized body will then disclose that information to me. If I further consent in writing to disclosure of that information to the person or organization referred to above that requested the verification, that information will be disclosed to that person or organization.
