Police Information Check

Thank you for volunteering! Below is a step-by-step process on how to obtain your Police Information Check (PIC) previously called a Criminal Record Check (CRC).
 
A PIC is mandatory for anyone who will be in the dugout with the kids. This process is no longer available to submit online. ALL forms must be dropped off in person to your local RCMP detachment.  The application process is listed below. If you are unable to print the application, there are printed copies at the detachment. You are also required to print off a Volunteer Letter. You will not be granted a PIC without your volunteer letter (attached below).
