Dear Knox Greig

As your service requires officers to declare convictions and notify
of any newly accrued convictions during their career, I would be
looking for convictions deemed unspent, e.g. within the last 5
years, or those such as Drink Driving and Serious Offences which
have a longer rehabilitation period.

Yours Aye

Lord McDowall
