Police Check UPDATE
Members are reminded about the UPDATED District Volunteer Security Policy, DOWNLOAD HERE.
This policy was generated from the requirement of our insurance company providing liability coverage in case of issues arising from members and non-Rotarians working with youth and other vulnerable members of our society.
The policy provides that all involved Rotarians and non-Rotarians complete a vulnerable persons police check. Click on "Read more..." or title 'Police Check' to read more about the relaxed submission procedure which has been greatly simplified.
Failure to complete the police check means members and non-members will not be able to work on any Rotary program that involves 'Vulnerable Persons'.
Contact Hans Granholm, 780-466-5566 for more information.

District 5370 Police Record Check Process
The procedure applies to both Rotarians and non-Rotarians involved in any Rotary sponsored vulnerable person activity.
1. Fill out the necessary form in your community and take it to the RCMP or local police station to complete your security clearance. Should you have a letter from your Club (obtain from Hans Granholm) stating that you are a Rotarian and/or non-Rotarian in good standing with the club and/or committee you are working with, you will receive the volunteer rate should there be a cost involved.
2. Once you have received your security clearance, you can submit it via email rather than mailing it in to the District Office. It will be reviewed by our Security Officer and a letter will be sent back to you confirming that you are cleared to work with the vulnerable sector and are compliant with Rotary's policies.
3. On receipt of the clearance letter from the district, forward a copy of that letter and a copy of the security clearance document from the police service to Hans Granholm.
4. Certification is valid for a period of three years.
- Police procedure:
RCMP
- Certification is free of charge and sometimes they will complete the certification while you wait (if you have time to wait).

- EPS charges $15 for the certification and be aware that they accept cheque or money order ONLY. No cash or plastic. Cheque or money order should be made out to “City of Edmonton”.
- The certificate will be mailed to you, usually within a week.
