Records Suspensions – Local Police Records Check
Welcome to the Cape Breton Regional Police Service's new online process for persons requiring a Local Police Record Check for the purpose of applying for a Record Suspension (Pardon). This system allows you to apply online for a Local Police Record Check 24 hours a day without having to attend our facility. All aspects of the process, including verification of your identification and fee payment - are handled electronically. If there are no concerns or follow-up required, your completed record check documents will be returned to you.
This information and process is relevant only to persons currently in the process of applying to the Parole Board of Canada for a Record Suspension (Pardon).
As part of the application process to the Parole Board of Canada for a Record Suspension (Pardon), a person is required to obtain a specialized record check (Local Police Record Check) from every police service in whose jurisdiction they have resided in the past five (5) years. This must be done using the official 'Local Police Records Check Form' from the Record Suspension Application Guide (Step 4) available here. The booklet and forms can be downloaded from the Parole Board website and presented at each police service from which this is required.
You do not need to send us the hardcopy form itself, our system will take your information and generate an electronic duplicate of this form with your details inserted in the appropriate fields.
After we process the check, we return the completed Parole Board of Canada (PBC) form to you by mail. Once you have it back, all you need to do is sign the form in the designated spot and include it with the other paperwork you will be sending to the PBC as part of your submission.
The completed form you will receive in the mail from us is the same form used by the PBC. They have reviewed this process and confirm that it meets their requirements.
If you wish to proceed, please click the "Register For Your Police Record Check" button to create an account and submit your information, payment, and identity verification process.
NOTE: this process is only for applications needing a local police records check specifically for a Record Suspension application. If you require a regular police criminal record check for employment, volunteering, licencing or other purposes, please click here instead to be taken to our regular site.
