Straightline International Breaks Up RCMP delays With A Court Search
Since last July requiring all fingerprints be sent electronically to Ottawa for screening, people are having to wait as long as five months for their criminal record checks to be complete.
According to RCMP Insp. Lyle Gelinas, Campbell River RCMP currently have 64 paid criminal record check applications and 160 volunteer applications sitting in the queue.
Gelinas explained that it takes local RCMP four to five weeks to administer a criminal record check because there is such a backlog and not enough staff. Then, it takes another 120 days to get the results back from Ottawa.
Individuals are finding they are unable to take positions because they can’t get their criminal record checks back fast enough,” said Andy Laidlaw, Campbell River city manager.
