Making a false statement - such as a non-resident declaring a local address at which they do not currently reside - will result in the discontinuation of application processing and the forfeiture of all monies paid.
Police Background Checks
Welcome to the Moose Jaw Police Service's online process for persons needing a police screening check for volunteer 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, your police screening documents will be mailed to you in a confidential envelope.
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.
This process is intended for persons living and working in Canada. If you are living/working outside Canada, you should obtain a police check from the RCMP through the submission of fingerprints. Click here for details.
If your application is being used outside of Canada, we are unable to process a Criminal Record Check with Vulnerable Sector (VS).
- Have lived in Canada for less than one (1) year, and/or;
- Are under the age of twenty-one (21) years, and/or;
- Have no established personal credit history - i.e. no credit cards, bank loans, mortgage, etc. - that is required in order to authenticate your ID using EIV
There are two levels of screening 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 check to determine which one is needed.
The Moose Jaw Police Service recommends all Adoption applications to attend in person as they may require to submit their fingerprints off to Ottawa to complete a vulnerable sector search.
The Moose Jaw Police Service charges a basic fee of $50.00 for a standard criminal record check or a vulnerable sector record check. If fingerprints are required, there will be an additional charge of $75, paid in-person at the time of fingerprinting. The additional $75.00 is for a cost recovery of the equipment and staffing resources required to take and process civil fingerprints. Appointments for fingerprints can be made by calling (306) 694-7617 from Monday to Friday, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.
The Criminal Records Act requires that the RCMP use a process that is different from the process used for a Vulnerable Sector check. The RCMP encourages police agencies to conduct fingerprint based criminal record checks for all applications related to adoptions to ensure they are screened for pardoned sex offences.

A police record check is current as of the date it is completed. It is your employer/prospective employer or organization's function to determine if the record check is current enough to be accepted for the position applied for. The Moose Jaw Police Services Board, its officers, agents and employees, shall have no responsibility or obligation to make such a determination.
Incomplete applications (i.e. no identification provided, authentication aborted / failed / not completed or further information requested) and applications requiring in-person attendance will remain in the processing queue for no more than sixty (60) days from the time of initial application. Fees are non-refundable and incomplete applications will be considered 'abandoned', and removed from the processing queue after sixty (60) days.
The Moose Jaw Police Service will return the results of the check to the applicant only. We will not provide the results to a third-party organization or employer under any circumstances.
