A mass screening of more than 300,000 police officers, staff and volunteers against a national intelligence database has led to only nine criminal investigations, figures show.
The review, carried out after a damning report following the murder of Sarah Everard by a serving officer, unearthed 461 cases classed as serious enough to need assessing by a senior officer.
There were 88 that led to a disciplinary investigation; 139 had their vetting reviewed; 128 faced management intervention and 97 were found to require no further action.
