Welcome to the Sault Ste. Marie Police Service's new online process for persons needing a Local Police Record Check. 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, and fee payment - are handled electronically. If there are no concerns or follow-up required, your record check documents will be returned to you.

We have 3 independent sites on our website which allow you to apply for different police record checks.

Use this site if you live in Sault Ste. Marie and Prince Township.

After we process the check, we return the completed Parole Board 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 Parole Board of Canada (PBC) as part of your submission.

The form you will receive from us is the same form used by the Parole Board of Canada. They have reviewed this process and confirm that it meets their requirements.
