English term or phrase: carry out checks (see context)
Appears several times in UK social services report and refers to security checks carried out on people who may be employed, or in other cases considered for adopting or fostering children. As in 'carry out checks' or 'checks will be required'. Or 'police/security checks to be carried out'. Usually involves checking their name against a database of people with, for example, convictions for certain offences.
I feel that perhaps controles o revisiones (de seguridad) sounds too unspecific. Are there any better options out there? Thanks.

¡Hola Jacob!

Don't be obsessed with using the same term all the time.

Sometimes registros policiales (if they're body checks) might work, others 'comprobaciones'...mix and match!

Suerte y sonrisas,

Álvaro :O) :O)

police/security checks to be carried out = se realizarán controles de seguridad / registros (si procede, que no parece)

verificación de antecedentes policiales o de seguridad


Explanation:
Hi Jacob

"antecedentes" is widely used in several Spanish-speaking countries in this context.

Here's some examples from a Google search:

Los antecedentes policiales desfavorables derivan de los hechos tipificados en el vigente Código Penal como delitos o faltas o de aquellos otros de carácter administrativo que han llevado, por parte de las Fuerzas y Cuerpos de Seguridad del Estado, a la instrucción de diligencias y su posterior remisión a las Autoridades Judiciales o Admininistrativas

Políticas que se aplicarán en la verificación de antecedentes

Certificados de trabajo por servicios prestados en empresas de vigilancia y
seguridad privada. Certificados de Antecedentes policiales. ...

cómo se verifican los antecedentes de las personas para estar seguros que no hay criminales
