Getting a Job

Many employers are now conducting police clearance searches before hiring. By signing an application form or an employment agreement, you may be giving your employer permission to conduct a criminal record search. A record will hinder your chances to gain employment.

POLICE RECORDS ARE NOT THE SAME AS A CRIMINAL RECORD

 

Understand this: Police records and files on you will never be erased. Records of every contact with you, every complaint by a neighbour, arrest, charge, acquittal, stay, discharge, diversion and conviction are kept permanently by the police regardless of the outcome.

These records will be shared with other police departments and authorities and are not sealed by a pardon or record suspension.

Think of police records as their business records. They need to keep track of their dealings with the public.
