PDF Version: Police Record Checks in Alberta
Paper Commented On: Alberta Law Reform Institute, Police Record Checks: Preliminary Research (March 2020)
The Alberta Law Reform Institute (ALRI) recently published a paper on police record checks. The paper:
-
- examines the provincial and federal statutes that partially regulate the disclosure of information in police record check results;
- reviews the provincial and national calls that have been made for specific legislation to regulate police record checks;
- evaluates Ontario’s Police Record Checks Reform Act, 2015, SO 2015, c 30 (Ontario Act); and
- compares the Ontario Act with the Alberta Police Information Check Disclosure Procedures (Alberta Procedures) endorsed by the Alberta Association of Chiefs of Police (AACP).
