Vetting checks

I have applied for Met police. What is this vetting exactly? What exactly they will check? When they are saying checking referencing what they exactly means?(Kind of worry cause I have 6 points on license) What a vet check is? Thanks for help in advance

Which level vetting is it that they have asked for, because different levels have different requirements. If it helps, I have SC clearance with 6 points on my licence

From a quick Google search, it says you need a RV vetting clearance. So Google that and see how they look at motoring points.
