Release of criminal record information

The RCMP, in consultation with a Federal, Provincial and Territorial (FPT) Working Group, has created a new policy to govern the use of the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) system for police services that conduct Criminal Record Checks and Vulnerable Sector Verifications (also known as Vulnerable Sector Checks).

The new policy is based on the Ministerial Directive Concerning the Release of Criminal Record Information by the RCMP, effective August 4, 2010, and is available online.
