The Police (Vetting) Regulations 2025

These Regulations make provision for the vetting of police officers. They require every police officer to hold and maintain vetting clearance. They also establish a procedure for withdrawing vetting clearance where there is evidence that a police officer may no longer be suitable to hold it. The Regulations are connected to the Police (Performance) Regulations 2020 (S.I. 2020/3), which concern unsatisfactory performance or attendance or gross incompetence, and the Police (Conduct) Regulations 2020 (S.I. 2020/4), which concern internal conduct matters.
