Understanding the Criminal Record and Judicial Matters Check (CRJMC)
When applying for a private investigator or security license in Ontario, one crucial step is obtaining a Criminal Record and Judicial Matters Check (CRJMC). As mandated by Section 11(2)(c) of the Private Security and Investigative Services Act, 2005 (PSISA), all applicants must provide this check with their application. At The Smith Investigation Agency Inc., we offer a streamlined process to obtain your CRJMC quickly and efficiently, ensuring you can focus on your career goals.
What is Included in a CRJMC?
A CRJMC encompasses various critical pieces of information, including:
- Applicable Criminal Convictions: This includes any criminal records that may impact your application.
- Findings of Guilt: Any findings under the federal Youth Criminal Justice Act are included.
- Absolute and Conditional Discharges: Information regarding any discharges granted.
- Outstanding Charges and Arrest Warrants: Relevant charges or warrants that may affect your status.
