Police Record Checks
Welcome to the Greater Sudbury Police Service's new online process for persons needing a police screening check for volunteer, student or employment purposes. This system allows you to apply for a police screening 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, you will receive an email with instructions on how to download your police screening documents. Results are only available for 31 days after the upload date, after which time you will have to reapply if you require another record check. **Ensure to check your junk/spam folder for your emails.

Applicants under the age of 18 applying for any municipal, provincial or federal government jobs must attend in person at Police Headquarters, 190 Brady Street.
