The Alberta criminal record checks i.e., Police Information Check (PIC) and Police Information Check with Vulnerable Sector (PIC-VS) are requested for varying purposes. The two police checks are used separately on separate occasions. These police checks help in regulating the safety of the town of Vulcan in the Alberta province.
Police Information Check (PIC) is used when a person gets involved in certain roles of a job or volunteering service. These roles must have no contact of power over vulnerable sectors else PIC won’t be applicable. Applying for PIC can happen either by Vulcan Detachment Unit or online through Globeia. PIC helps in the screening of the crime-based history of an applicant, which is inclusive of warrants, non-convictions, arrests, etc. PIC runs queries on management systems such as CPIC, SENTRY, etc. Results for PIC can be provided within an hour or even longer up to weeks depending on application mode and other specific circumstances.
Police Information Check (PIC-VS) is used for roles of job or volunteer services that concern holding trust or power in Vulnerable Sectors of Canada. This Alberta criminal record check runs a rigorous search to find the crime-based history of an applicant, which will even include applicable record suspensions. PIC-VS also runs queries on multiple relevant management systems. Results for PIC-VS can be provided in months or less, depending on specific circumstances. Visiting the Vulcan Detachment Unit is mandatory to apply for PIC-VS as there are no services for this police check online.
