Police Check Information

• Valid for 3 years
• Processing can take up to 6 weeks

Your PIC-VS must:

• Be completed specifically for Calgary Academy or Calgary Academy Society
• Be for the purpose of volunteering

Please note: We cannot accept a Police Information Check completed for another organization. If your current police check was completed for another organization, you will need to apply for a new one using Calgary Academy as the requesting organization.
