NEW CRC/VSC process

Attention MEI volunteers,

 

Effective immediately, Sterling Backcheck (MyBackcheck) is no longer able to provide Criminal Record Checks (CRC) that include the Vulnerable Sector Check (VSC). As you know the VSC is a mandatory Hockey Nova Scotia screening requirement for all volunteers. Instead, Halifax Regional Police is now offering a new online screening process through Triton. Here is the link below:

Key Points:

  • HRP will only process CRC/VSC for residents of HRM. Residents outside of HRM must apply through the police service responsible for their area.
  • A HNS letter is required to be eligible for the reduced fee.
  • If fingerprints are required, applicants will receive instructions for next steps.
  • Deadline is December 1, 2026

 

If you have any questions, please reach out to Amanda (risk@metroeastinferno.ca)
