Red Deer terms, explained
Criminal record check in Red Deer: RCMP, police information check or online?
Red Deer does not have a municipal police force. The city contracts the RCMP, and local criminal record and vulnerable sector checks are handled by the Red Deer RCMP detachment (City of Red Deer).
A check from the Red Deer RCMP
- What some local organisations, such as schools, specifically ask for
- Required for a vulnerable sector check
- Called a police information check or criminal record check locally
Online with MyCheck
- Ordered from your phone, any time
- A name-based criminal record check, searched against the RCMP National Repository
- Issued by an accredited police service, by email
- Accepted by most employers, staffing agencies and landlords
If an organisation has named the Red Deer RCMP specifically, use the RCMP. If they just asked for a criminal record check, you can order here. When in doubt, 1 email to ask saves you buying a check twice. Police information checks and criminal record checks in Alberta explains the difference.
Red Deer and central Alberta
One check for Red Deer and the communities around it
Your check runs against the national RCMP repository, so where you live does not change the result or the speed. Red Deer orders through the same link as Sylvan Lake, Blackfalds, Lacombe, Penhold, Innisfail, Olds, Ponoka, Rocky Mountain House, Stettler and Drumheller.
Lacombe has its own police service. Most other central Alberta communities, like Red Deer, are policed by the RCMP. That only matters for a vulnerable sector check.
Working in the patch or on a camp rotation? Order wherever you have signal. The certificate arrives by email, ready to forward to the site office.

- 3Issuing agency informationThe police service that issued it, the date issued, the serial number and the issuing officer's ID. This is what makes it stand up when someone asks where it came from.
A criminal record check is a point-in-time search. It reflects the record on the day it was run.

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 Red Deer, 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. In Red Deer, that is the Red Deer RCMP detachment. 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
Criminal record checks in Red Deer, answered
Can I get a criminal record check in Red Deer online?
Yes. MyCheck runs your criminal record check in Red Deer 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 the Red Deer RCMP.
Is this a Red Deer RCMP criminal record check?
No. The Red Deer RCMP detachment runs its own process. MyCheck is a private Canadian provider, and your certificate is issued by an accredited police service after a search of the RCMP National Repository. Most employers accept it. If yours has named the Red Deer RCMP specifically, use the RCMP.
Will a Red Deer school or sports club accept it?
Ask them first. Some local organisations, such as schools, say they only accept a check from the Red Deer RCMP. Others accept any police-issued criminal record check. 1 email before you order saves you buying a check twice.
Is this the same as a police information check?
Not quite. In Alberta, a police information check from your local police can include local police files as well as the national record. MyCheck is a criminal record check searched against the RCMP National Repository. Many employers accept either. If yours has named a police information check, ask whether a criminal record check is acceptable.
Does it work in Sylvan Lake, Lacombe and Blackfalds?
Yes. The search is national, so the check is the same anywhere in central Alberta and anywhere else in Canada.
How much does a criminal record check cost in Red Deer?
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 Red Deer, that is the Red Deer RCMP detachment. 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.
