Police Information Check in Regina: Online or at Regina Police Service?

Regina Police Service calls its check a Police Information Check (also known as a Criminal Record Check). It is only available to people living within Regina city limits, and the service estimates about 14 days to process. If you need a standard check quickly, an online check is usually the faster route — but some jobs in Saskatchewan require the police version, so check which one you need first.

Which check do you need?

Ask whoever requested the check which type they need before you order. The difference matters: an online check is a standard criminal record check, and some roles in Saskatchewan require a vulnerable sector check that only the police can do.

An online check is usually enough for

  • Private-sector jobs that ask for a criminal record check — retail, office, trades, hospitality, customer service
  • Landlords and property managers
  • Volunteer roles that don’t involve children, seniors or people with disabilities
  • Checking your own record

Police Information Check in Regina: common questions

How long does a police information check take in Regina?

Regina Police Service estimates about 14 calendar days for both the standard check and the vulnerable sector version, with no guarantee. If a vulnerable sector check needs fingerprints, the RCMP handles that part and it can take considerably longer. An online check through SafeHire returns most results in about 15 minutes, but it is a standard check only.

How much does a criminal record check cost in Regina?

Regina Police Service charges $45 for employment, immigration or personal use and $10 for volunteers and unpaid student placements. Applying online through their portal adds $9.95 plus tax, and fingerprinting (when needed for a vulnerable sector check) adds $25. SafeHire costs $64.99 and is available to anyone in Canada, including people outside Regina city limits.

I live outside Regina city limits. Where do I get a check?

Regina Police Service only processes applications from City of Regina residents and does not accept Rural Route Regina addresses. People outside the city apply through their local RCMP detachment or police service. An online check through SafeHire works wherever you live in Canada.

Can I use an online check to get certified as a teacher in Saskatchewan?

No. The Saskatchewan Professional Teachers Regulatory Board only accepts a criminal record check with vulnerable sector check completed by a law enforcement agency, and says it does not accept online third-party checks. Apply through Regina Police Service or your local RCMP detachment instead.
