MPS Security Clearance

[SupremeSpod]

I guess you guys know all of the circumstances. Thanks for your valuable comments.

Word?

Good one..

We know all of the circumstances you provided. You were convicted of driving without insurance by your own admission. If it was good enough for plod to think you're unreliable then it's good enough for me.

You're a villain, a convicted felon, in fact, you're scum. It's actions like yours that directly cost the rest of us law abiding citizens our hard earned cash.

Actually I do know most of the circumstances because I once worked with the OP

He made a genuine mistake some time back, and has now sadly lost his MPS clearance as a result.

Really though, this has to be seen as a blessing in disguise. The MPS is a fairly boring place to work, the canteen is rubbish, and the toilets are worse. I also have no doubt the OP will have little problem finding a newer/better contract elsewhere.


(OP: PM me if you like. I'm the one who isn't Scottish or Welsh!)

Police security and SC Clearance are two entirely seperate things. Having one does not mean you have the other. SC want to know if you are threat to national security or can be trusted with confidential information. Where driving without insurance is a moronic thing to do it doesn't mean you will sell secrets to the Russians. If, however, you have access to classified information that might include your criminal/driving history and you have found to have no respect for the law you might be tempted to change the information to make you look better.

Unlike the ministries, the police are not tolerant of people with criminal convictions, ...

I'd imagine some "MI"nistries (if you get my drift) are actually quite willing to hire or, up to a point, use people with certain kinds of criminal convictions, if these either show a certain boldness or skill (e.g. safecracking or hacking) or are discreditable enough (such as kiddie fiddling) to give them a hold over the hiree.

My advice is to apply for another job, you did not get this one.

[SupremeSpod]

To OP, it's unusual that you've been told why you failed the Met clearance. These days a criminal record isn't a bar to getting a job as a police officer.

Unlike the ministries, the police are not tolerant of people with criminal convictions, even what may be thought of as a minor one. Can't imagine why...

But yes, sadly you can forget it, it's not going to happen.

Hi, Ive just been rejected for Met Police SC Clearance. The reason for the rejection is an IN10 (Driving without insurance) on my licence.

The police apply their own rules to SC. What is fine for others is often not enough for them.

I'd start looking for another job because there is no way they'll change their mind.

That £500 bit of paper isn't looking as expensive now as it did at the time is it?

I have SC Clearance with another agency and have disclosed the above information. I have also worked for the MPS and obtained SC clearance in the past. I do understand that is an offence, but i'm hardly a security threat..

Can someone advise please
