Local Licence Applicant Guide
The City of Niagara Falls lists a 2021 Census population of 94,415 on its official About Niagara Falls page. That page identifies tourism, manufacturing, commercial retail, and knowledge-based sectors as part of the city's economic foundation; Niagara Regional Police publishes police record-check information for the region.
Ontario's current licence page sets out provider and submission requirements for the CRJMC, and the applicant is responsible for selecting the correct check type for their licence category. Workers whose roles may also involve contact with vulnerable persons should confirm separately whether a vulnerable sector check is required — it is a distinct document that serves a different purpose and cannot substitute for the CRJMC required for a security guard licence.
With hotels, casinos, and attractions operating continuously, security licence applications in Niagara Falls arise throughout the year. Having a current CRJMC ready can reduce the gap between a job offer and the start of a licensed role.
The Niagara Regional Police Service provides official record check information at niagarapolice.ca. This is a local government reference for residents who choose to request their check through their regional police service.
Employers in casino, event, and hotel security may have requirements beyond the provincial licence. Confirm which check types apply with both your employer and Ontario's current licence page before submitting your application.
A Criminal Record and Judicial Matters Check (CRJMC), also called a Level II police check, is one type of police record check. Confirm the current check requirement, issuer, format, recency, and acceptance directly with the licensing authority before ordering.
Residents of Niagara Falls can begin an application online through CRJMC.solutions. Police-check processing is powered by LawCheck; processing time, delivery format, and any additional steps can vary.
