Police Consent to Disclosure Statement

I hereby release and discharge the RNC Board and all members and employees of the RNC from any and all actions, claims and demands for damages, loss or injury however arising which may hereafter be sustained by myself as a result of the disclosure of information by the RNC. I certify that the information provided by me in this application is true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief. I have read this Consent, understand it, and agree to it in its entirety.

Please be advised that each type of criminal record check application requires a specific consent.

Please review the consent that applies to your specific request. In agreeing to this police consent, you are agreeing to the disclosure as it pertains to your selected request as described below.

Criminal Record Screening Certificate Consent:
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 acknowledge that the RNC cannot guarantee that a search for criminal records and criminal findings of guilt will capture every conviction or finding of guilt. I agree that no liability attaches to the RNC in relation to this search. I further agree that the RNC is not responsible for any inaccuracies resulting from the search.

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. I acknowledge that the RNC cannot guarantee that a search for criminal records and criminal findings of guilt will capture every conviction or finding of guilt.

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.
