Mandatory Coaching Requirement RCMP VULNERABLE SECTOR CHECK: you must pick up an original signed letter from the SBA mailbox at 476 Norway Crescent, Sherwood Park. You are to take this document to an RCMP detachment to attain the check free of charges. The RCMP check isn't required before signing up on RAMP, however, once you get the check completed, you can download the check back on RAMP under your profile. The letter will be updated in the mailbox regularly as it's been instructed by the RCMP that the letter is dated within a month's time. The RCMP have instructed us to require the checks on a yearly basis, so the date on your check should cover through to early March.
NOTE: SBA will NOT pay for your VSC if you check off "I would like to complete an Enhanced Online Police Information Check (Criminal Record Check)" when registering on RAMP. SBA is not requesting you to do this check online and the cost of $25 would be your responsibility to pay. If you live in Edmonton and are approved to coach in SBA, that is when SBA would cover this cost for you as the Edmonton Police Services will not accept the SBA letter of request for your VSC. Strathcona County local RCMP offices (Sherwood Park, Fort Sask., etc.) offer your VSC (vulnerable sector check) service for FREE when you take the accompanying letter to your local RCMP detachment.
