Reconsideration Request Process

An applicant who has made a Vulnerable Sector Check (VSC) completed by the SSMPS, may make application to have certain non-conviction information excluded from the results.

This reconsideration process does not guarantee that the information released will be removed; however, it will be reviewed by the Service’s Reconsideration Panel. The removal of any information will only be done if there is a substantive reason to support it. Removal will not be done strictly at the request of the applicant because disclosure of the contact might affect their chances of securing a volunteer or paid position.

Requests for reconsideration must be made by the applicant using the SSMPS’s Request for Reconsideration of a Police Record Check form. The form can be found on the Sault Ste. Marie Police Service’s website at www.saultpolice.ca under Record Checks.

The request must be made no later than 45 days of receipt of the record check results. Payment must accompany the request either in person or it can be mailed to:

Release of Completed Police Record Check

Police Criminal Records Check (PCRC) / Police Criminal Record and Judicial Matters Check (PCRJMC)

The Police Service will provide the results of a completed Police Criminal Records Check (PCRC) or Police Criminal Record and Judicial Matters Check (PCRJMC) only to you, the applicant.

It is your decision to discuss the results of a Police Criminal Records Check (PCRC) or Police Criminal Record and Judicial Matters Check (PCRJMC) with the agency where you want to work or volunteer.

The role of the Police Service is to provide you with the results of the Police Criminal Records Check (PCRC) or Police Criminal Record and Judicial Matters Check (PCRJMC). It is the responsibility of the volunteer or employment agency to determine your suitability for the position.

Police Vulnerable Sector Check (PVSC)

The Police Service will complete a Police Vulnerable Sector Check (PVSC) through the RCMP based on your name, gender, and date of birth. A completed Police Vulnerable Sector Check (PVSC) will be provided to you, the applicant.

The role of the Police Service is to provide you with the results of the Police Vulnerable Sector Check (PVSC). It is the responsibility of the volunteer or employment agency to determine your suitability for the position.

Note: If the Vulnerable Sector Check is inconclusive a fingerprint based search will be required. If the RCMP confirms that you have received a record suspension (pardon) for a sex offence, the information will be forwarded to the Minister of Public Safety to authorize disclosure of all or part of the information contained in your file. When the information is authorized for disclosure by the Minister, the criminal record associated with your fingerprints will be returned to the Police Service and will include the pardoned sexual offence information.

At this point the Police Service will be required to obtain your consent in writing for disclosure of the record(s). When you have signed the form giving consent to release the record(s) the Police Service must forward the information to the requesting agency (employer or volunteer agency). If you do not consent to the release of the information, the Police Service will advise the requesting agency (employment or volunteer) they are unable to complete the vulnerable sector record check.
