Regulation 4 ApplicationI1

Parts 3 and 4 of these Regulations apply where information which indicates that a police officer may no longer be suitable to hold vetting clearance (“a matter”) comes to the attention of F1the vetting authority of the police force concerned.

A vetting authority is not prevented from considering a matter under Part 3 or 4 of these Regulations by virtue of the fact that the matter has been considered or determined under the Conduct Regulations, the Performance Regulations or Part 2 of the 2002 Act.

Where a vetting authority is considering more than one matter in relation to the same police officer, the matters may be taken together and treated as a single matter for the purposes of any provision of Part 3 or 4 of these Regulations that requires a person to make an assessment, finding, determination or decision in connection with a matter.
