Why do I need to be fingerprinted?

Applicants will be requested to come in to be fingerprinted for two cases.

One case is for conviction confirmation. If an applicant has criminal conviction (s) the RMCP requires fingerprints in order to confirm the criminal record.  Once confirmed, data from the criminal record will be put on the requested police record check.

The second case is for the completion of a Level 3 - Police Vulnerable Sector Check. The vulnerable sector query is based on gender and date of birth. In order to clarify inconclusive results, applicants are required to be fingerprinted. Results will be indicated on the completed Level 3 Police Vulnerable Sector Check. Please refer to the RMCP's website for more information http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/en/criminal-record-and-vulnerable-sector-checks.
