Volunteer PIC

Volunteer PIC’s are free of charge. You will be required to bring in a current volunteer letter from the requesting agency verifying your PIC is for a volunteer position.


Vulnerable Sector Check

If you will be working or volunteering with vulnerable members of society such as children, the elderly, or persons with disabilities, you may need to complete a Vulnerable Sector Check. This check is done in conjunction with your Police Information Check at no additional cost. Vulnerable Sector Checks are designed to protect vulnerable Canadians.

A Vulnerable Sector Check is initiated by the police in the jurisdiction where you live. Your prospective employer or organization should tell you if you require a Vulnerable Sector Check as not all positions require one. Examples of positions that may require a Vulnerable Sector Check include teachers, social workers, daycare workers, nurses, and children’s sports coaches, ride hailing drivers (eg: Uber and Lyft), and taxi services.

The police will use the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) system as well as their own database to conduct a background search based on your name, gender, and date of birth. If your gender and date of birth match to a pardoned sex offender record, you will be asked to provide fingerprints to confirm your identity. Be assured that:
