St. Catharines is the administrative and commercial hub of Niagara Region, with healthcare, education, and service sectors where many workers pursue Ontario security guard or PI licences. Residents can complete their CRJMC check online through CRJMC.solutions without a trip to a police station.
Local Licence Applicant Guide
St. Catharines anchors Niagara Region's economy with a substantial healthcare sector centred on Niagara Health, a notable post-secondary student population at Brock University and Niagara College, and a wide retail and service base. People performing licensable security work in hospital security, campus safety, and commercial property roles in St. Catharines should confirm current provincial licensing requirements and any applicable exemptions with the Ministry of the Solicitor General.
Ontario's current licence page sets out provider and submission requirements for the CRJMC. The applicant is responsible for identifying the specific check type required for their licence category, as set by the Ministry of the Solicitor General. A vulnerable sector check — required for certain roles involving direct contact with children or vulnerable adults — is a distinct document and cannot be substituted for the CRJMC required for a security guard licence.
The Niagara Regional Police Service provides official record check information at niagarapolice.ca. This is a local government reference for St. Catharines residents who choose to request their check through their regional police service.
Ontario's current licence page specifies the required category of record check. Review that guidance before initiating your application to make sure you request the correct type and avoid having to reapply.
Some roles in healthcare or education may require a vulnerable sector check, but that document does not replace the CRJMC required for an Ontario security guard licence. Confirm which checks apply to your situation 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 St. Catharines 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.
