Police Checks - do I arrange before EOI?
Hi,
Is it a good idea to arrange police checks before submitting our EOI?
and is this the same as CRB check? Do I just contact the local police office - sorry if that's a really daft question!

We waited until we were selected, the police check is only valid for 6 months but only takes a few weeks to arrive 
Good luck

Do it after you've been invited to apply
Oh and you don't go down to your local nick to obtain one. You have to download the forms from acpo or acpro (Association Chief of Police Officers) and then send to the address in Farnham. Usually don't take long to return back.
Hope you have a cheque book as they're fussy barstewards when it comes to payment!

but no point doing it until you know that your EOI has been selected, thus an ITA will be coming, and not rejected
