- DIRECT ENTRY INSPECTOR
  
  256004 posted a topic in General Policing Discussions, January 21
  
  Hi all, i wonder if i could engage and get more thoughts on the DE Inspector Programme. A little about me first, i am a manager with the health care sector and have been for over 10 years now, i currently have a staff team of around 60 - 70 people. I am also a serving Special Constable and absolutely love the job and look forward to the weekends when i can go out on shift and assist my regular colleagues.
  
  I wanted to gage peoples thoughts on the process and if by being a serving Special if would be looked upon any differently to say someone who had no operational experience at all. I am wanting to apply to West Mercia Police as if is the closest force to where i currently serve.
  
  Any thoughts would be appreciated good or bad, and if anyone has gone through the process would be great to hear from you.
  
  Many Thanks in advance.
  
  James
