Exemptions to Background Checks Permitted

AVRBC is pleased to announce that volunteer agencies may now request an exemption from the Registrar of the Criminal Record Review program if they commit to obtaining police record checks for their volunteers.  Volunteer agencies that choose to continue using the services of the Criminal Record Review program are welcome to do so.
