The Summons Unit (Records Services) serves various types of court documents:
- Subpoenas: a document that compels a person to attend court proceedings as a witness in order to give testimony
- Summons: a document issued by a court, agency, board or commission, or another person, requiring a person to attend court – most often the person has been charged with an offence
- Provincial Offence Notice (PON): an electronically generated or handwritten ticket alleging the commission of a provincial offence to be resolved by payment of a set fine or election to attend court.
The Summons Unit provides Personal Service, when an officer or Process Server directly provides that person with the court document in-person; and Alternate Service, when an officer or Process Server deems that a court document recipient cannot conveniently be found, and leaves it for them at their latest or usual place of abode with an inhabitant thereof who appears to be at least 16 years of age.
If a card has been left at your address, we have attempted to serve you a document but you were not available at the time.
It is important to make arrangements to receive your court document as soon as possible as it relates to a court proceeding and could result in a criminal charge or fines if you ignore the document.
Please call the number on the card if the named person is unknown or has moved.

A Record Suspension, or Pardon as it was previously called, allows people convicted of a criminal offence to have their criminal record kept separate and apart from other criminal records.
It removes a person's criminal record from the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) database. This means that a search of CPIC will not show that the individual has a criminal record or a record suspension. This helps them access employment and educational opportunities and to reintegrate into society.
For information on waiting periods, eligibility criteria and how to apply for a record suspension see the Record Suspension Guide on the Parole Board of Canada website.
Peel Regional Police will only provide the applicant with the results of the local Police Record Check.
This program was developed to deal with first time shop theft offenders.
Program benefits:
- Decreased officer response time to shop theft calls.
- Reduced down time for retail Loss Prevention Investigators (LPI), also known as Security Guards.
- Increased efficiency in processing of offenders.
- Improved consistency in how offenders are dealt with.
- Prevention of random detention of offenders.
Once the assessment is complete the offender may be released by the LPI that arrested them.
Pre-Charge Diversion Referral Program
This program allows for a young person who has been arrested the opportunity to accept responsibility for their actions, and to agree to participate in an educational program in lieu of a criminal charge.
When determining the involvement of this program, the officer must consider:
- Whether the youth has been charged before.
- Whether the offence is non-violent and minor in nature.
- If this type of outcome will hold the youth accountable for their actions.
- If the youths parent or guardian has been notified and agree for the youth to be involved in the program.
After being recommended for the Pre-Charge Diversion Referral Program, an approved community agency will consider the recommendation and rule if it's appropriate or not.
