What is a Vulnerable Sector search?
A. A Vulnerable Sector search refers to an individual requesting a Police Records Check who is identified as working with a person or organization responsible for the well-being of children under the age of 18 or with vulnerable persons who, because of their age, a disability, or other circumstances, whether temporary or permanent, are in a position of dependence on others or are otherwise at greater risk than the general population of being harmed by persons in a position of authority or trust relative to them as is authorized under the Criminal Records Act. If an agency or individual indicates to us that they are working in the vulnerable sector, we require consent from the individual making the Police Records Check to also run CPIC for any pardoned sex offences and consent to disclose any pardoned sex offences. ** Please be aware that due to RCMP policies, we are unable to complete a vulnerable sector search if you are applying for a police record check for personal reasons. ** Enha
