We are currently processing Aug 7 applications in .pdf format. Our system does not recognize the .HEIC format.

Police Background Checks

Choosing the wrong type of record check option (i.e Volunteer, when it’s for employment or coaching) will result in the discontinuation of application processing and the forfeiture of all monies paid. You will then have to re-apply with the correct option.

NOTE: We do not recommend that you attempt to use this system if you:

Have lived in Canada for less than one year;
Are under the age of 21 years;
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

Please be aware of these requirements before creating an account. If you fail to authenticate your identity, simply upload two pieces of Government issued ID, one with a valid photo, to proceed with your application.

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 Saskatoon 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 Saskatoon Police Service will only return the digital results of the criminal record check to the applicant.
