CCRTIS-SCICTR — What It Is and Its Role in Criminal Record Checks

The Canadian Criminal Real Time Identification Services (CCRTIS), a division of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), is responsible for managing Canada’s national repository of criminal records. CCRTIS operates the SCICTR (System for Criminal Investigations and Criminal Trial Records), which ensures that all criminal information is accurately maintained, recorded, and available for background checks, court proceedings, and other legal purposes.
