Police Record Checks

Dealing with a local police service when conducting a criminal record check is the most comprehensive approach to ensuring public safety. Local police services, like the North Bay Police Service, provide information not included in criminal record checks offered by third-party private companies, that only reference the RCMP National Repository of Criminal Records.
