Which police service is yours?
Peterborough Police Service or OPP: who polices where you live?
The Peterborough Police Service only takes record check applications from people living in the City of Peterborough, the Village of Lakefield and the Township of Cavan-Monaghan (Peterborough Police Service). The rest of Peterborough County is policed by the OPP.
| If you live in | Your police service |
|---|---|
| The City of Peterborough | Peterborough Police Service |
| Lakefield | Peterborough Police Service |
| Cavan-Monaghan, including Millbrook | Peterborough Police Service |
| Bridgenorth, Ennismore, Keene, Norwood, Havelock, Buckhorn, Apsley and the rest of the county | OPP |
For a MyCheck criminal record check, none of this changes anything. The search is national, so you can order from anywhere in the county. It only matters for a vulnerable sector check, which must come from the police service that polices where you live.

A quick check before you order
Which check do you need?
Most jobs, agencies, landlords and general volunteer roles accept a criminal record check, which is what we do. Two other checks get asked for in Peterborough, and only police or an accredited agency can issue them.
Vulnerable sector check
Roles working with children, seniors or other vulnerable people need a vulnerable sector check. Only the police service that polices where you live can issue one: the Peterborough Police Service for the city, Lakefield and Cavan-Monaghan, or the OPP for the rest of Peterborough County. It may involve fingerprints.
Fingerprint-certified check
Immigration, visa and citizenship applications, record suspensions and most uses outside Canada need fingerprint-certified results. Our check also does not include convictions recorded by the Canada Border Services Agency or US Customs.
Not sure which you were asked for? Ask the person requesting it whether a name-based criminal record check is acceptable before you order.
FAQ
Peterborough police checks, answered
Can I get a police check in Peterborough online?
Yes. MyCheck is a Peterborough police check you complete entirely online. An accredited police service searches the RCMP National Repository of Criminal Records and emails you a police-issued certificate. Most checks complete in minutes. A vulnerable sector check is the exception and has to go through your local police service.
I am looking for the Peterborough Police Service online portal. Is this it?
No. MyCheck is a private Canadian provider, not the Peterborough Police Service. If you already started an application with them, log in through their website. If you have not started yet and need a standard criminal record check, you can order here, and your certificate is issued by an accredited police service after a search of the RCMP National Repository.
I live in Bridgenorth or Norwood. Is that Peterborough Police or the OPP?
The OPP. The Peterborough Police Service only covers the City of Peterborough, Lakefield and Cavan-Monaghan. For a MyCheck criminal record check it makes no difference, because the search is national. It only matters for a vulnerable sector check.
I need a check for a summer camp job. Is this the right one?
Probably not. Camps and children's programs usually need a vulnerable sector check, which only police can issue. Ask the camp which check they need before you order. Read our guide to vulnerable sector checks.
How much does a criminal record check cost in Peterborough?
Level 1 is $39 CAD and Level 2 is $49 CAD. Identity verification is included in both, and there is no access fee. Police service fees are set by each service.
How long does it take?
Most checks complete in minutes. The rest are usually back within 4 hours. Timing depends on how accurately you enter your details. A small number of cases need fingerprint confirmation, which is done in person and takes longer.
What will my result show?
Level 1 shows criminal convictions where no record suspension has been granted. Level 2 adds outstanding charges and warrants, discharges within their disclosure windows, Youth Criminal Justice Act findings and court orders. You declare your own convictions during the process so they can be confirmed against the search.
Understand your result
I need a vulnerable sector check. Can you do it?
No. Only the police service that polices where you live can issue a vulnerable sector check, and no private provider can. In Peterborough, that is the Peterborough Police Service for the city, Lakefield and Cavan-Monaghan, or the OPP for the rest of the county. Read our guide to vulnerable sector checks.
Who sees my result?
You do. The certificate is delivered to you and nobody else. It is not sent to an employer unless you send it.
Can I get a refund?
No. Checks are non-refundable once submitted, which is why this page explains which check you need before you order. If you are unsure between Level 1 and Level 2, ask whoever requested it first.
