    Reference & Police Checks

    Reference Checks
    Police Background Checks

    The City of Hamilton recognizes the importance of reference checks as a means of verifying information obtained from the candidate’s application, resume and the interview. We also contact references to collect and clarify other job-related information.

    We perform reference checks for all jobs to verify information from your application, resume and interview. We check references for the final candidate as the last step of the application process.

    You must provide at least three references who you currently report to or who you have reported to in the past. Exceptions are made depending on the job or volunteer opportunity that you apply for.

    You may use references from outside local and national geographic areas.

    Letters of reference provided by candidates do not replace a reference check. We have specific questions that we ask your references that are often not answered in your letter of reference.

    Choose your references carefully. If the information they provide is not consistent with the information you have provided throughout the application process, you may not receive a job offer.

    New employees, students and volunteers are required to provide police background checks depending on the nature of the job. We place a high degree of trust in the integrity of our employees.

    There are three types of police background checks:

    1. Police authorities conduct criminal records checks to identify whether or not an individual has a criminal conviction for which a Record Suspension has not been granted, including findings of Guilt under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
    2. Police authorities conduct Criminal Record and Judicial Matters Checks to identity whether or not an individual has a criminal file which compiles offence information, including convictions, outstanding warrants, charges and judicial orders.
    3. In addition to the information provided in the Criminal Records and Judicial Matters Check, the Vulnerable Sector Check identifies whether or not an individual has a sexual offence recorded in their name in Canada for which a Record Suspension has been granted or issued.   This check is only used for individuals seeking employment or volunteer opportunities with children or vulnerable persons, depending on the nature of the job.

    You will receive a conditional offer of employment or volunteer opportunity, dependent on a clear background check. Some jobs, such as paramedics, require a background check early in the application process.

    If you are asked for a police background check but you do not get one, you will not be considered for jobs or volunteer opportunities with the City of Hamilton.

    A vulnerable person is someone who depends on others because of their age, disability, or other circumstances. A vulnerable person is at a greater risk of being harmed by persons in a position of authority or trust.

    You need to go to the police service in the municipality where you live to get a police background check.

    If you are a resident of Hamilton, including Ancaster, Dundas, Flamborough, Glanbrook and Stoney Creek, you have two options for getting a background check:

    1. Apply online at www.policesolutions.ca
    2. Apply in person at Hamilton Police Service’s Records Business Centre, located at 155 King William Street in Hamilton.

    The Hamilton Police Services lists the acceptable pieces of identification that you can use to get your background check. They recommend that you do not apply online if you:

    • Have lived in Canada for less than one year
    • Are under 21 years of age
    • Do not have an established personal credit history, such as credit cards, bank loans or mortgages. A personal credit history is required to authenticate your identification

    Results of your background check will be mailed to you, unless you arrange with the Records Business Centre to pick them up. You are responsible for paying for your background check and providing to the City.
