This is the quickest way to receive the VSC, and the best for our database logging purposes.

Once your receive your completed check back from Ottawa Police, forward it directly to [email protected]

We do not accept printouts/photocopies of the electronic VSC's; they must be delivered in a pdf format.   

Ottawa Police Services will charge a fee starting September 1st, 2019, so please ask for your letter well in advance so that you do not have to pay for your records check.  Keep your receipt, you will be reimbursed the $10 fee. 

Your PRC will be reflected on your HCR (Hockey Canada Record) and must be there in order for you to appear on a roster.
