Before requesting a criminal record check, first discuss with your employer which type they require. There are three types.
Please note that each check is good for only one organization.
Level 1: Police Criminal Record Check (PCRC)
This is a basic check for applicants looking to work or volunteer for an employer or organization doing their due diligence and doesn’t involve working with children or vulnerable persons. A PCRC includes a criminal convictions summary and findings of guilt under the Youth Criminal Justice Act within the applicable disclosure period.
Level 2: Criminal Record and Judicial Matters Check (CRJMC)
A CRJMC is for applicants who need a basic criminal record check like the PCRC along with a search of outstanding entries and charges. A CRJMC will include outstanding entries, such as charges and warrants, judicial orders, peace bonds, probation, prohibition orders; and absolute and conditional discharges for one or three years respectively.
Level 3: Police Vulnerable Sector Check (PVS)
A PVS is for candidates looking to work or volunteer with vulnerable persons, who are defined as a person who, because of their age, a disability, or other circumstances, whether temporary or permanent, are in a position of dependence on others or are otherwise at a greater risk than the general population of being harmed by person(s) in a position of authority or trust to them.
In addition to the information provided in a CRJMC and a PCRC, a PVS also includes charges that resulted in a finding of not criminally responsible on account of mental disorder, and pardoned offences authorized under the Criminal Records Act Non-conviction information authorized through Exceptional Disclosure.
Here is a general guideline of what types of occupations may ask for a criminal record check and which kind.
This list isn’t meant to be exhaustive since different employers will ask for different criminal record checks, so be sure to confirm with them before making your request.
Police Criminal Record Check (PCRC)
Criminal Record and Judicial Matters Check (CRJMC)
Police Vulnerable Sector Check (PVS)
Triton criminal record checks will satisfy PCRCs and CRJMCs but not a PVS.
According to RCMP policy, vulnerable sector checks must be conducted by your local police service. Therefore, Triton cannot offer vulnerable sector information.
