Police Record Checks

Welcome to the Peterborough Police Service’s online application system for police record checks for volunteer or employment purposes. This system allows you to apply for a police record check 24 hours a day without having to attend our facility. All aspects of the process – including verification of your identification, fee payment and completed police record check results – are managed electronically. If there are no concerns or follow-up required, you will receive an email with instructions on how to securely download your police record check certificate.

The estimated turnaround time for online applications is 10 business days.

You cannot apply on behalf of another person. Authentication questions will be based on the applicant’s personal credit file, and the questions are timed to ensure a prompt response and to further enhance security and privacy. If you fail to authenticate your ID, you will be required to e-mail the information.

This process is intended for residents of the City of Peterborough, Cavan-Monaghan Township and Village of Lakefield only. Applications will be abandoned, and no refunds issued if out of jurisdiction application is submitted.
