Hanover residents now have the option to apply for police record checks online.
The Hanover Police Service announced it has partnered with Triton Canada Inc. to offer the service in a more convenient way.
"Whether the applicant requires a criminal record check, criminal record and judicial matters check or a vulnerable sector check, the process is simple, secure, and accessible that still guarantees a turnaround time of one to two weeks, depending on current volumes," police said in a statement.
To apply for a police record check online, you just have to go to hanoverpolice.ca, scroll over to the "service" tab and select "police record checks". The service is available electronically 24 hours a day, seven days a week and does not require a visit to police headquarters.
Police noted that only applications for record checks by Hanover residents can be processed by the local police service. Anyone who applies with a primary address outside of the town will see their application rejected and may not receive a refund. This is in accordance with the Criminal Records Act, police said.
