💨 Abstract

A new law will require police officers in England and Wales to pass background checks as a legal requirement, with immediate dismissal for those who fail. The move aims to address public trust issues, particularly concerning allegations of domestic abuse, sex offenses, and other concerning intelligence. The new system is expected to come into effect on May 14, following calls for police vetting system overhaul after high-profile incidents.
