Kate...what Cleggy says is true. I can remember my son in law being called out to Police collections, that were the result of 'criminal activity' and had to have escorts to and from, for instance, 'pikey sites' and certain estates in the Slough area.

Be careful, as Cleggy says. However, you may come across this at all in your particular area.

[the alarming man]

Many thanks for your help.

I'll just tell them and hope for the best. I would really like to do this so I hope I don't get rejected.

Kate honesty is the best policy, in my business (which is security we are vetted by going back 10 years work record with no gaps,credit checked,a crb check,and lastly the area you work in as to be ok'ed by the local plod force which to be fair in my last job i was in and out of banks and C.I.T depots all day)...if you have had a caution and omitted to tell them then they will take a very dim view of that,but being up front and honest they will look at it and see if you are deemed a risk...but if it is your only blot on your copy book...they will possibly let it go...so i would apply..you have nothing to lose tbh

Thanks, I'll just be honest with them. The rules have changed recently - it's all a bit confusing with this spent and unspent business.

I'll just say what happened and then they can decide.

I've not read all the posts but a word of caution about recovering vehicles for the police.

A very good friend of mine and his son gave up their business recovering cars for the police. The first occasion, the son went to pick up a car and take it to the pound for forensic examination and was followed by some people who certainly didn't want any tests done on the car and they got very violent putting my friends son in hospital to get to the car to burn it out.
The police inspector said it was a one off and they would secure all vehicles and accompany the recovery driver to the pound and please carry on............. They did and on the second and last time  the recovery vehicle was followed, my friend just reversed at speed down a one way street and beat a hasty retreat to escape the drug dealers who wanted the car back.

TAKE CARE

Well I'm from Sunderland so I'm used to criminals. Most of my family are criminals come to think about it.

I'll have to dig out my bullet proof vest that I used to wear on a night out in Sunderland.

OMG did you say credit check?

They sell them on eBay  Makes you wonder what else is on there

Thanks Nick.

C&S said I would be able to earn £20,000 working in central London.

Do you think they might be exaggerating?

Should I not bother do you think?

How many hours a week would you be working? It's a 24 hour business, so there are always going to be nights, or at least on call. That really screws up your life.
How would it be paid? A small retainer plus commission per job seems likely, so you are entirely at the mercy of the controller. How would you stand on Police jobs that don't get paid - my old boss reckoned that at least 25% were 'free'.
£20k makes me feel well paid, which hasn't happened in a while!

I'm going in tomorrow so hopefully I'll find out more. It sounds like a terrible job tbh.

Hardly any work, then when you do get a job you get chased round London by gangsters shooting at you like in a Bruce Willis movie.

I may be talking out of the top of my head, but I always thought a caution, was, 'a smack on the wrist, don't do it again'  type of punishment.
You will probably be ok.

It is recorded though terbert and remains on file so needs to be declared for any CRB check

DBS LZ, I thought you would have known that......

Still being called a CRB check in the police and CPS circles I work in, but of course the new DBS check is in force and habits take a long time to die out!  

The times I still hear "RTA" being  used by non-police sources when of course it is now a "RTC"

Don't tell them that Kate!!

If that is true they will soon find that out and take it into account!

I better keep quiet about my uncle Tony Montana.

[Kate]

It looks like the caution isn't going to be a problem so I'm going to give the job a try.

Thanks very much for all the advice.

Brilliant as usual.

[Doctor Gollum]

Put it this way...

If you don't declare it and a search reveals it then you automatically don't get the job, as you have been dishonest.

Declare it, they'll look at it and say 'Ok,  that's a relatively minor spent conviction. When can you start?'

Good luck
