To begin your on-line application, go to the Winnipeg Police Service website and choose Perform Personal Police Information Check.

You must also identify which agency you are applying for. Enter:
- Manitoba Education and Training Professional Certification

- Kindergarten to Grade 12 Teacher

- School Clinician – Social Work (Kindergarten to Grade 12)
