Criminal Record and Judicial Matters Check (CRJMC)
This check is the most comprehensive type of police check, when vulnerable sector screening is not required. It is a collection of offence information, including convictions, outstanding warrants, charges and judicial orders available from a local police agency’s records management system and other systems/records where authorized.This check is intended for applicants who are seeking volunteer and/or employment with agencies who require a criminal record check. The agency has determined that a search of sex offenders with a record suspension is NOT required therefore this check is NOT intended for applicants who are seeking volunteer and/or employment with vulnerable persons.
If you are working with Vulnerable Persons you may need a Vulnerable Sector Check. See this option under Police Record Checks for more information.
