Hi to select check box please do it like below 

 driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@value='3806']")).click();

UPDATE

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait (drv,20);
    // for location
    wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("location")));
    drv.findElement(By.xpath("location")).click();
    // for Position
    wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("Position")));
    drv.findElement(By.xpath("Position")).click();

To locate the checkbox element with an XPath expression, use the following format:

//tagName[@attribute='value']

  • // indicates to search the entire DOM for the required element.

  • tagName specifies what type of element you're looking for. For your example it would be input.

  • [@attribute='value'] is a predicate to only return elements who have an attribute equal to the specified value. For your example you could use [@value='3806'] or [@class='chk-input'].

So pieced together, we can use the following as an XPath expression to find your checkbox:

//input[@value='3806'] or //input[@class='chk-input']

Finally, to click the element you can simply use WebElement.click() like so:

WebElement checkbox = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@value='3806']"));
checkbox.click();
