Police Record Check

Vulnerable Sector Check (VSC)​

 

Volunteers who reside in Toronto can complete the Vulnerable Sector Check (VSC) online. We strongly encourage all volunteers to complete the VSS online.

Online VSC Process

NB: this information is for residents of Toronto (postal code starting with   M only.) For residents outside of Toronto, please obtain their VSC at the Police Service in the jurisdiction where you permanently reside.  More information can be found for Durham, Peel and York using the links at the bottom.

You can check back on the VSC page on the Toronto Police Service website to get an idea of when your VSC will be processed.
