The order follows the case of David Carrick, a serving Met Police officer who was a serial rapist.
He said: "Words will not rebuild confidence, only action and the public seeing the results of that action.
He added the NPCC, which works with police forces on staffing, said it had also asked the Home Office to work with them to develop technology to allow forces to carry out regular automated checks on their staff. The Met confirmed Carrick came to the attention of police over nine incidents, including rape allegations, between 2000 and 2021.
The College of Policing introduced the national guidelines to ensure all forces in England, Wales and Northern Ireland were checking new recruits in the same way.
