Police Vulnerable Sector Checks
A Police Vulnerable Sector Check (PVSC) is required of all rostered team officials and all other team volunteers who engage in on-ice activities.
If a team official’s gender and date of birth matches someone in the DRPS/RCMP database, he/she will be fingerprinted to process the PVSC.
PVSC processing can take up to two months and a team official cannot be rostered until the PVSC is completed—start the process early!
The original, embossed form from Durham Regional Police must be submitted to the administrator in order for the bench staff to be rostered and reimbursed.
PVSC are valid for three seasons and expire on August 31 three seasons after the PVSC was issued. For example, a PVSC issued on August 31, 2017, December 31, 2017, or February 15, 2018 will all expire on August 31, 2020.
PVSC Deadline
- Rep team bench staff must have an up-to-date PVSC on file with Brock Minor Hockey before they can be rostered.
- House league bench staff must have an up-to-date PVSC on file in the Brock Minor Hockey no later than November 1st.
