Avon & Somerset Constabulary

It looks like the last intake have got a different type of rain coat with blue/white check on the sleeves and click fast radio docks built sewn on. I dont think the hood is detachable though which in my opinion looks a bit silly and it is slightly shorter in length. I think I prefer the old type with the black collar, although the radio docks would be handy.

Fixed speed cameras across the region are being axed after councils reduced their contributions to their road safety budgets and speed enforcement. It could potentially leave some areas without any speed cameras. But e-mails obtained by the BBC show discussions have taken place about average speed check cameras replacing fixed cameras. Avon and Somerset Police are due to take over running the mobile speed cameras from April after the majority of council funding was axed. Many fixed cameras across Bristol, Bath a…

Hello! I have heard several districts referred to (A-J so far) - can anyone tell me where these actually lie geographically? So far, I know that lots of elderly people live in District J and wonder off and get lost!

What are the 'liveliest' parts of town in terms of call-outs (excluding the centre on a Fri/Sat evening)? I assume Redland and Clifton are fairly conservative!

Apparently we can now choose to wear our body armour or not whilst on duty. Just wondered what others thoughts were on this?

The move comes after an 18-month review of h…

Hi there, long time reader first time poster! I'm applying for A&S Constabulary in Bath, passed PIRT, filled out security forms etc, I have my medical at Portishead on 12th Feb and I'm a bit worried about what actually happens - I'm average height and healthy enough but a little on the skinny side and I was wondering if there is a minimum BMI requirement and if so should I put on weight or be asked to gain weight? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
