The Ottawa Police Service is consulting the public on the proposed fee structure changes for police records check services.

The current fee structure model was approved in 2007 and no longer reflects the true costs of supporting records check requests.  Market rates of other municipal police services in Ontario include fees for both employment and volunteer records checks.

Currently in Ottawa, records checks for volunteers working in community sport organizations are FREE.

In order to provide a fair and equitable fee structure model, the Ottawa Police Service is seeking your input on a cost recovery model for records check services.
