Criminal records can be a major roadblock for individuals seeking to better their lives and contribute to their communities. The program has successfully helped many Saskatchewan residents receive their record suspensions, increasing peoples access to employment and educational opportunities. The Record Suspension Services program offers support to people with the record suspension application process and helps to remove barriers and reduce stigma surrounding criminal records.

The Record Suspension Services program is available to everyone with criminal records that are eligible for suspension. Program participants must live within Saskatchewan. JHSS has local offices in Regina, Moose Jaw, Saskatoon, and Prince Albert.
