Immediately following a motor vehicle collision, it is important to ensure that all involved persons have been taken care of - injuries are tended to and any tow trucks or emergency personnel required have been called.

The drivers of all involved vehicles are lawfully required to exchange information, including: name, address, driver's licence number, valid vehicle registration, and insurance.

A collision must be reported to the RCMP in any of the following situations:

• Total damage resulting from the collision exceeds $1,000
• Anybody was injured in the collision
• There was damage to any public property as a result of the collision
• The collision in question was a 'hit and run'

Drivers do not need to call the police immediately, except under the circumstances listed below.  Rather, they should attend a police detachment, preferrably in the jurisdiction where the collision occurred, in order to complete a Motor Vehicle Collision Statement, within one week of the collision occuring.  At this time, they will be required to present their driver's licence, insurance, registration, and a damage estimate.  After this is complete, they will be provided with a copy of the Motor Vehicle Collision Report and file number for insurance company claims.

The police must be called to the scene of the collision in any of the following situations:

• An serious injury or death has occurred as a result of the collision
• Traffic control is required
• A criminal offence has occurred (ie. impaired driving, failure to stop, etc.)
• One of the involved parties is unwilling or unable to provide the required information

The detachment’s front desk is open Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m

In order to apply for a pardon, you must have been convicted of a federal offence as an adult, and it must be at least three years since you have completed your sentence.

Note: "Completed your sentence" means that you have paid all fines, costs, surcharges, and made restitution or compensation, and completed any order of probation, conditional sentence, and incarceration (which includes time on parole and statutory release).

Please note that the following information is also available at the front counter of the Grande Prairie RCMP Detachment, as part of the complete Pardon Application Guide.  You can also telephone the National Parole Board at 1-800-874-2652 for help with applying for a pardon or visit their website at http://www.npb-cnlc.gc.ca/pardons to download a copy of the complete Pardon Application Guide, including detailed instructions for its completion.

Summary of Pardon Application Steps:

Step 1: Obtain your Criminal Record or a Certification of No Criminal Record from the RCMP.

Step 3: If your sentence was completed less than five (5) years ago and/or you had any fines, costs, surcharges, restitution, or compensation orders in the past fifteen (15) years, then you must obtain your Court Information.  (Note that if the court indicates that your conviction was tried as an Indictable Offence, and it has not been five (5) years since you completed your sentence, then your application cannot be processed.  You must wait until the end of the five-year waiting period before applying for a Pardon.)

Step 4: If you are, or have ever been, a member of the Canadian Forces, then obtain a Military Conduct Sheet or written confirmation of its non-existence.
