| Vulnerable sector check | Not available — see below | Offered only to people living inside Brandon city limits at the same $58.75 fee; if the check is inconclusive, a fingerprint-based search is required, and volunteers must present a letter from their organization at fingerprinting to avoid the RCMP's $25 fee. |
