• Application forms are available on-line and may be printed and completed prior to attending police headquarters. Blank application forms are also available at police headquarters.

• Applicant must apply in person at the Front Desk of the St. Thomas Police headquarters located at 30 St. Catharine Street, St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada
• Business office hours are Monday to Friday, 8 am - 4:00 p.m.

• Fees: We accept cash, debit and Visa only and it must be paid at time of initial request. No refunds.

• Process usually takes approximately one week to complete unless the applicant has lived outside the City of St. Thomas in the past 5 years which may result in a longer processing time. Processing will take longer if fingerprints are required to confirm identity (completed by RCMP) which can take 120 days or longer.
