Welcome to the Windsor Police Service\'s new online process for persons needing a police record check 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, and fee payment - are handled electronically. If there are no concerns or follow-up required, your police record documents will be returned to you.
Please note: You must be a resident of the City of Windsor or Town of Amherstburg in order to apply through this Police Service. 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 agencies across Ontario will no longer be permitted to disclose any youth records on record checks for non-government agencies.
This means that applicants under the age of 18 will no longer be provided with a police record check, unless they can show that that it is required for a government agency.
If you are under 18 and require a record check for this purpose, please attend in person at 150 Goyeau Ave, Windsor.
This process is intended for persons living and working in Canada. If you are living/working outside Canada, you should obtain a Certified Criminal Record Check from the RCMP through the submission of fingerprints. Click here for details.
NOTE: We do not recommend that you attempt to use this system if you:
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
Persons requiring a record check for the purpose of Non-Parental Custody (through court order), cannot use this online screening process. You must attend the Windsor Police Service Information Services with your signed, completed 'Consent Form for Police Record Check for Non-Parent Custody Applicants', as ordered by the Court.
Please be aware of these requirements before creating an account. If you fail to authenticate your identification, you will be required to attend our offices in person with two pieces of identification.
There are three levels of record checks. The position you are applying for will determine which check is most appropriate. In all cases, you should consult with the agency, organization or employer requesting a police check, to determine which level is required.
A record check is current as of the date it is completed. It is the requesting organization\'s function to determine if the record check is current enough to be accepted, and to also determine how often a subsequent record check may be required. The Windsor 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 thirty (30) 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 thirty (30) days.
Completed record checks will be available electronically by secure download through your online account. You will be notified when your record check has been completed. Please note that there are still circumstances that require us to mail the completed record check using Canada Post, but this will be conveyed to you through your online account if applicable.
Please note: If you are seeking a 'Local Police Records Check' as part of the Record Suspension (Pardon) application process, do not use an online police check as it is not appropriate for this purpose.
