A Police Information Check is a type of background screening that may be requested for employment, volunteering, professional licensing and other purposes. The information searched and disclosed depends on the type of screening required and applicable requirements.

Eligible background screening can be completed online through Triton. You can provide your information and consent, verify your identity, and submit your check digitally from your computer, tablet, or smartphone.

You may be asked to provide a Police Information Check when starting a new job, applying for a volunteer position, renewing a professional license or completing another requirement. Confirm the type of screening you need with the organization requesting your check before placing your order.

Eligible screening through Triton can be completed online. You can provide your information, complete the required identity verification, and submit your check digitally without unnecessary in-person steps.

Once your screening has been submitted, Triton’s online platform allows you to monitor the status of your check and provides automated notifications as it progresses. Results are handled and delivered securely through Triton’s digital screening process.

Triton first verifies your identity electronically using knowledge-based questions linked to your credit file. This does not run a credit check and does not affect your credit score. The information is used only to help confirm your identity. If additional verification is required, Triton can use facial recognition, which securely compares your government-issued photo ID with a selfie.

No. A Police Information Check and a Vulnerable Sector Check are not necessarily the same type of screening. Vulnerable sector screening involves additional checks and may be required for qualifying positions involving trust or authority over children or other vulnerable people. Triton background checks cannot be used as Vulnerable Sector Checks. If you require one, confirm the appropriate process with the organization requesting it or your local police service.
