Volunteers will be charged a fee for all PIC or PIC VS applications.  A letter from the volunteer agency confirming the non-paid position is required. 

Fee schedule varies due to application type from $25 to $100 including electronic fingerprint submissions. The Nelson Police Department now uses third-party TRITON software to process Police Information Checks. The Nelson Police Department is only able to complete vulnerable sector checks for City of Nelson residents only.

The Nelson Police Department offers two types of Police Information Checks in accordance with the BC Provincial Police Information Check guidelines:

• Police Information Check (PIC),
• Police Information Check with Vulnerable Sector Screening (PIC-VS).

Fingerprints:

You do not require fingerprints for a Criminal Record Check UNLESS you are flagged according to the National RCMP CPIC policy. Due to a change in National RCMP CPIC policy, there has been a significant change in the Vulnerable Sector Screening. If you have been fingerprinted in the past, for any criminal activity, your Criminal Record Check may be delayed in processing. For fingerprints, you must book an appointment by emailing cso@nelsonpolice.ca
