Vulnerable Position Screening
for volunteer purposes is $10.00, which is payable at the time of submitting the

Volunteer Agency involved, verifying the position is for volunteer purposes.
Photo identification is required to be produced. Applicants must be a resident
of London and shall provide proof of London residency. Processing time will be

A Police Records Check and Vulnerable Position Screening is available to persons
that will be volunteering in positions of trust, involving the vulnerable
sector. The vulnerable sector includes, but is not limited to, children (persons under 18
years of age), the physically disabled, the intellectually disabled, and the
elderly.
A comprehensive police records check is performed, which includes a query of the
London Police Service’s local criminal records, a search of the London Police
Service’s local indices, which includes any police involvement the applicant has
had with the London Police Service, and, where the applicant has lived outside
of London in the past 5 years, inquiries will be made with that police agency(s)
having jurisdiction during that period. A query of the Royal Canadian Mounted
Police National Repository for Criminal Records in Canada shall also be
performed, including a query of the pardon files maintained by the Royal
Canadian Mounted Police, to determine if the applicant has been convicted of,
and been granted a pardon for any of the sexual offences listed in the schedule
to the Criminal Records Act. This Police Records Check and Vulnerable Position
Screening is based on photo identification only, and, therefore, is not
confirmed by fingerprints. A copy of the completed check, indicating the results
of the Police Records Check and Vulnerable Position Screening, shall include the
Corporate Seal of the London Police Service as proof of authenticity.
