Disclosure(please read carefully)

Owing to the sensitive nature of our environment it is a requirement for prospective volunteers to disclose all convictions, including ‘spent’ convictions. Volunteering with the MPV is covered by the exemption order of 1975 relating to section 4(2) and section 4(3) (b) of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. A police vetting procedure will be carried out for this purpose. If you have any convictions please indicate:

Yes No You will be asked details at your interview.
The MPS reserves the right to conduct local checks on all individuals before making the decision to offer an interview. The Commissioner retains the right to reject any application without giving a reason.

I am applying to become a volunteer with the MPV. I hereby declare that the information I have given in this application is true to the best of my knowledge and belief. I understand that if I am accepted as a Met Police Volunteer I must inform the MPS immediately of any changes to my personal circumstances.
