Thanks Old-CodJA and BazzaS. Very helpful and much appreciated info. Now the 40 day wait for CRB report to come in post.

Many thanks Bazzas. Would it be any different if I subsequently wrote to the FCC prosecutions department and admitted my guilt and offered an apology along with a hefty admin charge ? I was not prosecuted as a result but will the supervening event change the status of the 'caution' by RPO and will anything from this whole event be recorded on the CRB / DBS / PNC database and appear on a Standard check ?

Hi everyone, In June 2011 I was caught travelling on an incorrect ticket and was interviewed under caution by a FCC revenue Protection Officer. He didn't take my signatures on the statement or his notes although I clearly remember him stating the caution and then proceeding with the interview. Thnaks to this forum, I got some good guidance on how to handle such a case and managed to pay a charge to FCC prosecution department and persuaded not to proceed further with the case (a substantially high amount imho but I was travelling without a valid ticket so was clearly in the wrong). Now,I am required to apply for a job which requires me to have a DBS/CRB Standard Criminal Record Check. I am worried that the 'caution' may show up on the criminal record although I am certain that the caution procedure was not strictly adhered to. Please can you advise if such a caution will show up on my criminal record? Your comments are most welcome. Thanks,
