Police Check Policy & Form

The Police Information Check is a requirement from Southwest KC Minor Hockey Association (SWKC) for individuals seeking to work with children.

One of the tools SWKC can use to ensure the safety of our children is to require a Police Information Check of any adult who plans to be a part of the training or coaching staff of one of our teams this season. It is mandatory and no individual will be assigned to a team unless an application is completed prior to Head Coach selections. All persons interested in helping as trainers or assistant coaches must also submit an application. There is no cost to you for this process as the fee is paid for by SWKC.

A Police Information Check is an effective tool for volunteer organizations assessing risk and determining suitability of prospective volunteers. A Police Information Check conducted by the Edmonton Police Service contains the following information, which is provided on a letter with the Edmonton Police Service seal:

• Criminal convictions, as provided by the Canadian Police Information Center (CPIC)
• Charges pending or presently before the courts, as provided by the Alberta Justice Online Network (JOIN)
• Edmonton Police Local Records - This may include information relating to a suspected criminal offence without charges. For example, an individual identified as a suspect in a sexual offence but not charged, will not be shown on a criminal record check, but will be appear on a police information check.
  
  

The results of a Police Information Check are only disclosed to the applicant. A Police Information Check only provides the information required for a volunteer organization to make an informed decision regarding the suitability of an applicant and should not be the only factor accounted for when considering an applicant for volunteer purposes.

Submit Edmonton Police Service Police Information Check form to Southwest KC if you are interested in becoming a part of the training or coaching staff.
