Obtain a Police Information Check - Vulnerable Sector (PIC-VS)
According to the Criminal Records Act a vulnerable member of society are persons who, because of age, a disability, or other circumstances, whether temporary or permanent are:
a. In a position of dependence on others or;
b. Are otherwise at a greater risk than the general population of being harmed by a person in a position of authority or trust relative to them.
Anyone who may be involved in dealing with a vulnerable person may be required to complete a PIC-VS. Examples are teachers, social workers, day care workers, sport coaches and volunteers.
A PIC-VS is used to determine if a there is a chance of a criminal record and/or a sexual offence conviction for which someone has received a pardon. In some cases registered sex offenders change their names to avoid being linked to the crimes that they have been found guilty for. To eliminate this, enhancements have been made to PIC to not allow their unreported name change to avoid being identified through a vulnerable sector query.
Anyone with a similar name, and date of birth could be identified through the PIC-VS. The enhancements now automatically flagged pardoned sex offender records based on gender and date of birth of the applicant.
Fingerprints are now required to complete a vulnerable sector check when the gender, date of birth of an applicant matches a pardoned sex offender record. This ensures that individuals who have obtained a legal name change are properly screened for pardoned sex offender’s records. PIC-VS are treated as a priority requests when fingerprints are submitted to the your local police detachment.
Persons who are requesting a PIC-VS are required to provide a certified cheque or money order in the amount of $25 at the time of application. If you are a volunteer there is no fee, provided that there is proof from your employee that the position is a volunteer position. Applications for a Personal Information Check with PIC-VS can take up to 2 weeks.
