Criminal record checks and fingerprints
Many employers, volunteer organizations, and licensing bodies require a criminal record check or vulnerable sector check processed through local police. Williams Lake RCMP lists both criminal records checks and fingerprints among available services.
Before you visit:
- Confirm you are attending within Monday–Friday, 8:30 a.m.–4:00 p.m. general service hours.
- Bring government-issued photo ID and any forms your employer or volunteer agency provided.
- Ask whether your check type requires fingerprints — the detachment lists fingerprinting as an available service.
RCMP applicants also complete security screening that may involve record checks and fingerprinting, though the recruiting process uses RCMP-specific channels. If you are preparing to apply, see our RCMP application process guide for how screening fits the timeline.

Applicants researching rural BC detachments often focus on posting location but forget that front-counter hours are narrower than 24/7 patrol coverage. Scheduling a fingerprint or record-check appointment outside 8:30 a.m.–4:00 p.m. weekdays can delay employer paperwork or add a second trip. Save 250-392-6211 and verify hours on the official contact page before you travel.
