The Shaunavon RCMP would like to advise area residents that the Criminal Record and Vulnerable Sector Checks scheduled for this Tuesday August first have been rescheduled to Wednesday August second.

Criminal Record Checks are done to see if the applicant has a criminal record, and the Vulnerable Sector Checks are done for a Criminal Record Check and to record suspensions or pardons for sexual offenses.

Sargent Daniel Archibald with the Shaunavon RCMP Detachment says they do a large number of these kinds of checks. "Shaunavon Detachment performs them on Thursdays. We get an abundance of requests for this due to the high number of people volunteering and also for employment. And they can be legally disclosed. Only the applicant can apply for it. It cannot be done third party."

The Detachment would also like to advise everyone is the area that there will be no Criminal Record and Vulnerable Sector Checks done on Tuesday August eighth.
