All members of An Garda Síochána are subject to stringent security checks, including Garda vetting, prior to commencement of employment as members of An Garda Síochána. In that regard, all members of An Garda Síochána are Garda vetted.

Where any member of An Garda Síochána operates in a private capacity with any organisation to work with children or vulnerable adults, that individual is subject to the policy of the organisation concerned in respect of Garda vetting in the same manner as any other individual.
