TYPES OF POLICE INFORMATION CHECKS

Delta Police Department offers two types of Police Information Checks.

1. Police Information Checks without Vulnerable Sector Screening (PIC)

This check is intended for applicants who are seeking employment and/or volunteer opportunities with agencies who require a police information check.

This check is for applications who will NOT be in a position of authority or trust relative to vulnerable persons.

2. Police Information Checks with Vulnerable Sector Screening (PIC)

This check is restricted to applicants seeking employment and/or volunteer positions in a position of authority or trust relative to vulnerable person (i.e. children and seniors). This check is more in-depth and can include checks for any convictions, outstanding warrants, charges, judicial orders, non-convictions, and adverse police contact information available from local police agency’s records management system and other systems/records where authorized. This check will include sexual offence convictions for which the individual has received a record suspension, subject to authorization by the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness.

NOTE: Individuals requesting PIC VS may also be required to come in for fingerprinting to verify your identity and fees are additional $25 for employment/other.  There is no fee if you have provided a volunteer letter with your application. 

PIC STANDARDS

Police agencies across B.C., including municipal departments and the RCMP, follow the BC Police Information Check Guidelines to ensure that all PICs are processed with a consistent standard. The BC Police Information Check Guidelines can be found by clicking here.   

**By performing a PIC, the Delta Police Department is in no way making a recommendation as to the suitability of the applicant for a position, nor should an agency consider the existence of police information to mean a compulsory disqualification of the individual. It is important to note that information released on Police Information Checks in some instances is based upon information provided by the applicant. A police agency cannot guarantee it will identify all information pertaining to the individual.**
