Cambridge is a city shaped by the joining of three historic communities — Galt, Preston, and Hespeler — and today forms part of Waterloo Region's manufacturing and logistics corridor. Residents applying for Ontario security guard or PI licences can complete their CRJMC check online without visiting a police station.
Local Licence Applicant Guide
Cambridge emerged from the amalgamation of Galt, Preston, and Hespeler and retains a strong industrial character built around automotive assembly, precision manufacturing, and distribution logistics. People performing licensable security work across Cambridge's industrial parks and commercial districts should confirm current provincial licensing requirements and any applicable exemptions with the Ministry of the Solicitor General before applying.
Ontario's current licence page sets out provider and submission requirements for the CRJMC. The applicant is responsible for selecting the correct check type for their licence category, as set by the Ministry of the Solicitor General. Applicants who work with vulnerable populations should confirm separately whether a vulnerable sector check is also required — it is a different document with a distinct purpose and is not a substitute for the CRJMC.
The Waterloo Regional Police Service provides an official record check portal at wrps.ca for residents across Galt, Preston, and Hespeler. This is a local government reference for those who choose to request their check through their regional police service.
The check type required for an Ontario security guard licence is specified on Ontario's current licence page. Requesting the wrong check type can delay your application, so review provincial guidance before submitting.
The CRJMC required for a security guard licence and a vulnerable sector check are separate documents with different uses. Review Ontario's current licence page to confirm exactly which check your role requires before you apply.
A Criminal Record and Judicial Matters Check (CRJMC) — also known as a Level 2 Police Check — is required by the Ontario Ministry of the Solicitor General for Security Guard and Private Investigator licence applications and renewals.
Residents of Cambridge can now complete the entire process digitally through CRJMC.solutions — no trip to a local police station, no waiting for mail. Your electronically certified certificate is delivered to your email within the business day.
