Dear Sir or Madam,
As the CRB was established to provide disclosures for employment
and licensing purposes involving information held on the Police
National Computer (PNC) as well as other relevant information held
by other data sources, I am making a request under the Freedom of
Information Act 2000. regarding a similar service provided by ACPO
Criminal Records Office (ACRO).
Please would you provide the following information:
(a) electronic copies of any correspondence relating to the
establishment of the ACRO 'service';
(b) an explanation of why the "Police Certificate" service provided
by ACRO is not being delivered by the CRB.
(e) was the CRB consulted on the decision to allow ACPO to set up
this service and if so what was the CRB's response?
Yours faithfully,
John Brown

Individuals cannot apply for a CRB disclosure themselves, whilst that is understandable, as it has a different function.
It is possible to get a Police Certificate in 2 days through a 'premium' service, compared to 4 to 6 weeks for a CRB Enhanced disclosure and it is mostly the disclosure of Police records that takes up most of the weeks waiting: http://www.crb.gov.uk/default.aspx?page=...
