It does not depend on the crime or even, necessarily, how close the relative is. Disclosure is paramount. You MUST disclose all information as they WILL know and automatically refuse you if you have not disclosed voluntarily.

The above is true. A mate of mine didn't disclose a relative as she thought the crime had been spent......not their best idea. Let's just say they never did get a police job.

I know of lots who work for the police with criminal pasts - misdemeanours - but as they had disclosed them, they got taken on. Honesty truly is the best way forward.

Why would that have an influence?

If your lad applies for the force, Stooo, he must disclose anything about himself or family/close associates, on the application. If there is anything and he does, it shouldn't count against him. If there is anything and he doesn't disclose, then that's it. People end up being refused because they were afraid disclosure might scupper their chances, so lie or feign ignorance. But integrity and honesty is what they want.

Leicestershire Police will also want to know whether any of your close family or associates are involved in criminal activity and the Vetting Unit staff will therefore search for any criminal convictions or cautions recorded against you, your family and associates. You must advise them that these enquiries will be made. Leicestershire Police cannot disclose the results of these enquiries to you.

The only thing that non-STEM degrees do is make young people more stupidier than they already are. Scrap non STEM degrees so we don't have stupid people who graduate in them get paid less than illegals picking crops in America and spend their lives as loser virgins. Employers view people with Humanities and Social Science degrees as people who took a 3-4 year course to make themselves more stupid. That is a fact and anyone who disagrees or tries to prove me wrong is a big stupid who did a useless degree thanks to my hard earned cash money!
