Has anyone else been given their offers to join in Jan?

Hi all Just passed my btp assessment and submitted my vetting. Been employed as police staff for 6 yrs now and CTC and SC vetted.

I know vetting is a minefield but what's the general take on me passing vetting? Cheers all.

27th November 2014 The BTPA has responded to a report released today that has recommended the functions of the British Transport Police in Scotland will be a devolved matter. The Smith Commission, led by Lord Smith in consultation with the Scottish Parliament’s five parties was set up to recommended a package of powers that should be devolved to Scottish Parliament.

I have a 2 part question regarding vetting and was after people's advise and anyone who may have had similiar 1.

If anything came back for him, would this impact my application at all as I have had no dealings or contact for such a long period of time? 2. Someone in my family got done for drink driving back in 1990, again would this have any impact on on my application at all? (I ave declared this on the form)
