Following the decision of the Ontario Government to provide Police Records Checks free of charge to volunteers, the June Diocesan Council meeting passed the following motion:
BE IT RESOLVED THAT parishes no longer be required to use XpressChek to process Police Record Checks for parish volunteers. A copy of all Police Records Checks not processed through XpressChek is to be provided to the Human Resources Officer in a secure manner.
Parish Volunteers can now complete FREE Police Record Checks through their local police service (eg. OPP, London Police Service, Waterloo Regional Police Service, etc.). Safe Church

If the Local Police Service requires a letter from the organization, it is the responsibility of the parish to provide individuals with the letter. Below is a template that can be used, however, may not be accepted by all local police services who have different requirements for completing police record checks.
