Street Checks

A regulation in the Police Services Act, known as the Collection of Identifying Information in Certain Circumstances — also known as street checks — defines a police interaction and regulates how identifying information may be collected. In 2022, no street checks were conducted by DRPS officers. Therefore, there were no public complaints, general information requests or personal record information requests made under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Privacy Act relating to information collected pursuant to the Regulation. There were no instances in which a police officer did not carry out their duty to inform the individual for the reasons outlined in Section 6 of the Regulation or where an individual was not given a receipt document because the individual did not indicate that he or she wanted it. As there were no attempted collections, there were no instances where an officer did not provide a receipt for any of the reasons prescribed in the Regulation. The restricted database was not accessed for any purpose in 2022.
