Once you declare an offence, you will be required to complete an additional form (Supplementary Information Form) providing us with as much as information as possible.
We assess any candidate on a case by case basis depending on the severity of the conviction and the length of time it has been since you were charged.
Applicants with the following kinds of criminal record will not usually be considered:
Any person who has received a custodial sentence (includes periodic detention and corrective training) regardless of when the offence occurred
Any conviction for violence, dishonesty, drugs, a sexual offence, or any offence which incurred a sentence of supervision within the last 20 years (if applying for Prison Services custodial positions) or 10 years (if applying for other Prison Services positions, and all other services and groups)
Any criminal conviction within the last 10 years, with the exception of minor convictions (minor convictions are those incurring small fines)
A continued history of minor offences
