    long story short but I have a distant relative (mothers distant cousin and they’re a big family) who was involved in low level things during the troubles of which I know no details and neither do my parents or any family that I speak to as they have had no contact with him for decades, and I have never met this person. Am I correct in putting this down in the criminal associations and marking it as ‘yes’ thanks

    I would include everything you are aware of. It’s better that vetting exclude it themselves rather than you. I don’t imagine including it would have any influence on your application but leaving out information would. I don’t remember the specifics of the form but be as open and transparent as possible.

    Thanks got in touch with vetting there, they suggested to include it. It’s always at the worst time you discover these relatives exist

    Is there many applicants from the south ,

    The pay seems to be very poor for a police force that have to carry guns , seems crazy low for the job that is required

    Not sure if this would be the right thread but relates to vetting - For those who have applied to more than one police force at the same time (PSNI being the preference by a good bit) whenever it comes to the other force vetting me and the PSNI will know about my other application whenever the other force contacts them for my details, will it negatively effect my PSNI application at all or is it not considered?

    It's the public sector they simply will not care.

    Public sector doesn't really have any ability to preferentially treat anyone in this regard. Especially given how regulated recruitment is

    Think other than direct emails or letters from vetting the only way you’ll know if you’ve had your vetting started is to check your credit report check for searches

    Your credit report will show a search by ACPO if you're wondering

    Anyone willing to answer a question on vetting?

    Regarding fixed penalty notices, I had 3 points for speeding 6 years ago which I know the date for but also 20 years ago that I really don't know the date, is there a way of finding out?

    i would just put down a guess. They’ll be able to find the information out anyway if they need to. Just be as open and honest about everything. You’ll hear it time and time again, integrity is non negotiable.

    Yeah write down everything. I phoned the DVLA in Coleraine and they told me all my dates etc. if in doubt you could always do that.

    NI direct have this new thing where you can link your drivers licence to your account and view your driving record e.g. (FPN and Points).

    There are 2 links in it. One is for English licences but the big green button is for NI licences. If it says .gov and not ni direct, you've clicked the wrong one.

    Doing my vetting here, there appears to be no place to put bank details, debts, loans etc in the vetting form. Or am I missing this?

    Also it doesn’t ask for speeding convictions, only for other driving convictions.

    Am I completely missing it or do they not ask for this?

    I can’t remember if it asked about banking stuff in the second form. With driving offences I just put my speed awareness course in the convictions section, I did it more just to be safe
