Types of Police Record Checks

There are three levels of police record checks. 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 police record check to determine which one is needed.

The Peterborough Police Service requires all Adoption applicants submit a Police Criminal Record and Judicial Matters Check (PCRJMC). Applicants may also be required to provide fingerprints to complete the record check depending on the requirements of the adoption agency.

Vulnerable Sector: If you are applying to work in a paid or volunteer position where you will be in a position of trust or authority with children or vulnerable persons you will be required to submit fingerprints whenever the name and/or gender and date of birth of an applicant match to an existing pardoned sex offender record. This is not an accusation of criminality, but a requirement to confirm identity and protect privacy.
