IMPORTANT NOTICE TO POLICE SERVICES: C-7 CONSENT FORMS

As a result of the passing of Bill C-7, the Criminal Records Act has been amended to permit the identification of pardoned sex offenders.

Police agencies may now conduct queries on applicants applying for positions working with vulnerable persons. The appropriate consent forms must be completed and signed by the applicant, attached to fingerprint form (C216-C) and submitted to the RCMP Information and Identification Services in Ottawa.

The sample consent forms are suggested formats that may be used and adapted to the needs of the various Police Services for the purposes of Bill C-7.
