Types of Police Information Checks

Police Information Check without Vulnerable Sector Screening (PIC)

This check is for applications who will NOT be in a position of trust or authority relative to vulnerable persons.

The Lethbridge Police Service uses three search mechanisms:
  • NicheRMS (Police Information Management System) - Local records of the applicant's involvement with Lethbridge Police Service.
  • JOIN (Justice Online Information Network) - The Alberta Court system.
  • CPIC (Canadian Police Information Centre) system and R.C.M.P. National repository in Ottawa.
This Police Information Check only provides information found at the time of the check, on the above listed systems. The Lethbridge Police Service does not guarantee completeness of the information, as we are limited to information available on these systems. This check does not include information found in any other jurisdiction's local police information system; nor does it include court information of any other provinces, except convictions registered on the National Repository for Canada and information entered onto the Canadian Police Information Centre System.
