Police Record Checks
Read before applying – this is a non-refundable process:
- This is a non-refundable process.
- You must be a current resident of the City of Barrie in order to apply through this police service.
- If you continue with this application and find that you do not reside within the City of Barrie the monies paid will not be refunded. It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure they reside within the Barrie jurisdiction.
- If you are unsure if you fall within the policing jurisdiction of the Barrie Police Service, please call 705-725-7025, ext. 2141 for assistance.
- Please be advised that if you are applying for a CRJMC or a VS that you do not need to apply for the CRC for the same position. These checks include the CRC.
- A police record check is current as of the date it is completed. It is your employer/prospective employer or organization's function to determine if the record check is current enough to be accepted for the position applied for. The Barrie Police Services Board, its officers, agents, and employees, shall have no responsibility or obligation to make such a determination.
- Incomplete applications (i.e. No identification provided, authentication aborted / failed / not completed or further information requested) and applications requiring in-person attendance will remain in the processing queue for no more than ninety (90) days from the time of initial application. Fees are non-refundable and incomplete applications will be considered 'abandoned' and removed from the processing queue after ninety (90) days.
- Ensure you check your junk mail for communication.
- Criminal Record Checks are delivered back electronically and will be available for 31 days. The Barrie Police Service will notify only the applicant when their record has been completed and provide instructions to securely download it.
- After 31 days, the download is no longer available and you will have to attend the station to purchase a hard copy for a fee.
There are three levels of record checks available. The type of position you are applying for will determine which type of check you will require. In all cases you should consult with the agency, organization or employer that requires you to obtain a record check to determine which one is needed. See below some general examples:
