Reconsideration Request Process

An applicant who has had a Vulnerable Sector Check (VSC) completed, may wish to have information excluded from the results. This process is not applicable for the Criminal Record Check (CRC) or Criminal Record and Judicial Matters Check (CRJMC) because the reconsideration process is for the purpose of non-convictions only. Non-convictions are only disclosed through an Exceptional Disclosure assessment, when a non-conviction record gives rise to a concrete and compelling concern for the safety of vulnerable persons.

If you wish to request a reconsideration of the information disclosed on a VSC you may apply in writing to:

Windsor Police Service
Information Services
Attention: Records Search Unit Supervisor
150 Goyeau Street
PO Box 60
Windsor, Ontario N9A 6J5

Note: Individuals wishing to have information removed from their CRC or CRJMC can utilize the Record Suspension process through the Parole Board of Canada. Information that is listed incorrectly because of a mistake or lack of information should be handled outside of this process.

Release of Completed Record Check

Criminal Records Check (CRC) / Criminal Record and Judicial Matters Check (CRJMC)

The Police Service will provide the results of a completed CRC or CRJMC only to you, the applicant.

It is your decision to discuss the results of a CRC or CRJMC with the agency where you want to work or volunteer.

The role of the Police Service is to provide you with the results of the CRC or CRJMC. It is the responsibility of the volunteer or employment agency to determine your suitability for the position.

Vulnerable Sector Check (VSC)

The Police Service will complete a VSC based on your name, gender and date of birth, as well as, gender and date of birth. A completed VSC will be provided only to you, the applicant.

The role of the Police Service is to provide you with the results of the VSC. It is the responsibility of the volunteer or employment agency to determine your suitability for the position.

Note: If the Vulnerable Sector Check is inconclusive, a fingerprint based search will be required. If the RCMP confirms that you have received a record suspension (pardon) for a sex offence, the information will be forwarded to the Minister of Public Safety to authorize disclosure of all or part of the information contained in your file. When the information is authorized for disclosure by the Minister, the criminal record associated with your fingerprints will be returned to the Police Service and will include the pardoned sexual offence information.

At this point the Police Service will be required to obtain your consent in writing for disclosure of the record(s). When you have signed the form giving consent to release the record(s) the Police Service must forward the information to the requesting agency (employer or volunteer agency). If you do not consent to the release of the information, the Police Service will advise the requesting agency (employment or volunteer) they are unable to complete the vulnerable sector record check.
