Re: Police Checks
Please do bear in mind that the current time is about 40 days. 42 days, without counting days off for weekends, is 6 weeks. If you only count working days, then 40 days is 8 weeks.Good luck!

Re: Police Checks
All police checks go to Scotland yard for processing, if you look on there site you should get a contact number there.

Re: Police Checks
I contacted our police HQ yesterday and was told it should not be more than 40 days, not working days, but 40 days including weekends, holidays etc.

Re: Police Checks
I got through to them. I'm not sure it was on that number though but.
Try ringing the Met and asking to talk to someone about Subject Access.
If you have any more problems get in touch with The Information Commissioner's Office
