English translation:subject to a background check
Explanation:
Something to consider: are we sure a criminal history is the only thing they're looking for, or are there additional possibilities? Might want to consider a broader, more inclusive term than just one covering possible past criminal activity.

police records


Explanation:
I suggest that a better translation would be "have had their police records checked" becuase it's not a criminal record until you've committed a crime.

security checked


Explanation:
This is difficult. Ref 1 explains the process in Sweden. The process in UK and the translation would be 'DBS checked' or 'CRB checked' (ref 2).
USA is different again (See https://expatriates.stackexchange.com/questions/845/is-there...
I think 'security checked' is the best generic translation

Example sentence(s):
  • ... security checked migration officers
  • All our employees are security checked.
