Police Background Checks
Welcome to the U.C.C.M. Anishnaabe Police Service's online process for persons needing a police background check for volunteer or employment purposes. This system allows you to apply for a police background 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. Unless you are notified by our Service or follow-up is required, you will receive an email with further instructions.
Please note: You must be a member of one of the member nations of the U.C.C.M. Anishnaabe Police Service (Aundeck Omni Kaning, M'Chigeeng, Sheguiandah, Sheshegwaning, Whitefish River, Zhiibaahaasing, ) 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 loss of all monies paid.
This process is intended for persons living and working in Canada. If you are living/working outside Canada, you should obtain a police 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 (verify) your identification using EIV
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 government issued identification (1 must have your photo).
There are three levels of record checks. The type of position you are applying for will determine which type of check you will require. In all cases you should consult with the agency, organization or employer that requires you to obtain a police check to determine which one is needed.
Persons requiring records checks for the purposes of Adoption are to use the Police Criminal Records and Judicial Matters Check.
Persons requiring a Non-Parent Custody Applicant Record Check (through Court Order) cannot use this online screening process. You must attend the Anishinabek Police Service in person to make 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 U.C.C.M. Anishnaabe 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 ninety (90) 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 ninety (90) days.
The U.C.C.M. Anishnaabe Police Service will return the results of the check by mail to the applicant only. We will not mail the results to a third-party organization or employer under any circumstances.
