Criminal Record Checks

Parkland RCMP remind public of documents needed for Criminal Record Checks

Spruce Grove, Alta. – It’s that time of year when our criminal record/vulnerable sector checks increase due to the start up of school, hockey, soccer, gymnastics, and many other children and sport activities. The detachment personnel do their best to have these checks done in a timely manner. To help them process the checks quickly, Parkland RCMP want to remind everyone to bring the following when you attend the detachment:

• Two pieces of ID are needed. All valid Government photo ID can be used for the first proof of identification. This would include driver’s licences, passports, Firearms Licences (PAL) or an Alberta Resident Card.
• Second piece of ID does not have to have your photo, but must contain name and date of birth (examples: Alberta Health Care Card, birth certificate or student card) Indigenous Status cards can also be used, even if they are expired.

There may be charges for certain types of criminal record checks and/or fingerprinting. If you are volunteering for a position you will need to provide a recently dated letter on the organization’s letterhead indicating that you are a volunteer for them. This will allow us to waive the fee for the Criminal Record Check.

If you need a vulnerable sector check completed, you must reside in the detachment area. Recent proof of address is required (ie; a copy of a utility bill showing residential address in your name, etc). By bringing these documents with you when you attend the detachment, it will help the staff to serve you better and be able to process your Criminal Record and Vulnerable Sector checks with less delay.
