Join the Police - Avoiding VETTING PROBLEMS in your Police Recruitment Application 

Vetting scares me. I hope none of my family have convictions they haven't told me

Hi I’ve gone through the vetting process and passed. Currently waiting for dates for the assessment day

Tbh every police officer should go through full SC clearance, in which I completed and they still think they’re higher than other people…just for reference they don’t?

I sent an email to you, I failed vetting back in 2016 at a goverment agnecy for somthing i did not decleare which is fair enough, however this has been used agasint me to fail my vetting 7 years later which is outragous. I sent an email of my vetting appeal to your email.

I can’t remember when the police stopped me. They saw me in a sports car in a rough area and wanted to stop me. He was rather annoyed to realise I have a professional job and am a good citizen

I had a conviction as a 13yr old. I am now 38yr old. Would they have rejected my initial application if they wernt happy that was on my DBS? I have completed national sift and awaiting the OAC

Yes they do

If I had a sibling that was arrested for petty crimes (shoplifting, possession of class b etc etc) but never convicted (as he is under 18) would this affect the vetting process? For background I live at the same address.

Hi, I would hope someone got back to me regarding this matter... I recently just completed a vetting form and failed it...I want to know based on educated opinion from someone on whether or not they believe I will be successful in my appeal. On the general vetting form before it goes to vetting officer, I had declared an incident with the month and year(didn't specifically remember the day) area and vehicle. Once it had gone to a vetting officer, the vetting officer had enquired about other information declared on the vetting form but not anything about the incident that I had declared and failed vetting for. The last question the vetting officer had asked was if I knew anyone who was a suspect or victim to the police and due to the fact it had said if I knew of anyone, I stated anyone I knew. I do believe that this was poor vetting refusal but id like someone educated to assist me. Thanks for your time!

Hi. Do you have any advice on the vetting appeal itself?

Hi, does the police look at your Internet history?

Can someone please ask this please! Is PCSO vetting different to PC vetting, and if so… how different?

Hi I have a question my dad is in prison and has some bad charges I have no contact with him will this effect my vetting?

Do they go through your emails and social media?

Hi, I wanted to ask, I did a really stupid thing and shoplifted when I was 17 years old. The company did NOT call the police, however i did give them my name and address and they sent an RLP (Retail loss prevention) letter to my house with a fine that I did pay. Do I need to declare that? Had no contact with the police!

I have ABH ON MY RECORD i believe this should not stop me. I am a great person and would be a 1 in a million police officer. the case details is not as bad as sounds, not even a little. can you offer me any helpful info?

Caution as youth could prevent joining the police

I’d make a great inspector 😂 I’m always finding out who’s the Corrupt police officers within a few seconds 👍🏻
