Niagara Falls is a major tourism destination where a round-the-clock hospitality and entertainment economy means many workers in hotels, attractions, and events pursue Ontario security guard licences. Licence applicants in Niagara Falls can complete their CRJMC check entirely online.
Local Licence Applicant Guide
Niagara Falls operates largely around the clock, driven by international tourism, casino gaming, and a hospitality sector that spans hotels, restaurants, and year-round attractions. People performing licensable security work across those sectors should confirm current provincial licensing requirements and any applicable exemptions with the Ministry of the Solicitor General, as the rules governing who must hold a licence can vary by role and circumstance.
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 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 Niagara Falls 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.
