    there are any criminal charges pending before the courts
    there are any convictions for which a stay of proceedings or conditional discharge was entered within the past year
    any court orders pending before the court including a Section 810 of the Criminal Code where serious or significant conditions have been imposed by the court which the police service may consider to be detrimental
    should a vulnerable sector check be requested or required, a vulnerable sector verification will be completed to determine the possible existence of a criminal record and/or sexual offence conviction for which an individual has received a pardon (the Moose Jaw Police Service has the right to refuse to complete a vulnerable sector verification if they feel that the position does not meet the definition of vulnerable sector check)
