Level 1 Criminal Record Check, CPIC Check, CPIC, CRC, Police Record Check, Police Information Check, Police Background Check, and Police Clearance Certificate.
Level 2 Criminal Record Checks, which include additional judicial information such as outstanding charges and court orders, are often known as:
Criminal Record and Judicial Matters Check (CRJMC) and Enhanced Criminal Record Check.
