Section 5: Criminal Records Check

Criminal Records Check (CRC):

  • As of March 2017, everyone will have to have a CRC done specifically for the AOE files.

  • In other words, there is no longer an Authorization To Release Criminal Background Check option and the AOE will no longer accept transfer of your background check from the district office.

  • It is recommended that you wait until the renewals are released for notification from the AOE on how to proceed, what documents you will need, etc.

  • Once you have been notified by the AOE that you will need to have a CRC done, it is advisable to start the process asap.

FYI: Here is the link to the process, if you want to familiarize yourself with it.
