These Regulations make provision for the vetting of Ministry of Defence Police (“MDP”) officers. They require every MDP officer to hold and maintain vetting clearance. They also establish a procedure for withdrawing vetting clearance where there is evidence that an MDP officer may no longer be suitable to hold it. The Regulations are connected to the regulations which deal with conduct matters and unsatisfactory performance or attendance set out in Schedules 1 and 4 to the Ministry of Defence Police (Conduct, Performance and Appeals Tribunals) Regulations 2020 (S.I. 2020/1087) (“the 2020 Regulations”).
