Just because we were clogging up the topic about response times I thought I'd start this one as a 'general queries' thread Any photos yet or is it basically just a black PDA vest with everything on klikfast?

Stage 1 – Application form and Competency Based Questions Stage 2 – Assessment Centre This is a 1 day assessment centre and includes the PIRT, i.e. written communication, numerical reasoning and verbal reasoning papers, and a competency based interview. There are no role plays. Stage 3 – Medical/Fitness Fitness test is the national standard bleep test and push/pull. Medical does include a cough and drop. The eyesight standard may be more stringent than that required of local forces due to BTP officers operating on the railway environment. Stage 4 - The Waiting Game Finally comes the part where you wait for reference checks and vetting results to come back and w…

After reading through the "What you need to know about Byelaws" thread, I thought a pocketbook reference would be nice to have, so I made one. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1r5jI4-66n9ajzKpeyj4uCcFY_7qiG4aD7z4cDCVVna0/edit?usp=sharing Please, take a look and I welcome your comments on it, and would appreciate if people could check it over for accuracy as well, I tend to miss my own mistakes! Also, there is a bit of spare space on the final page, any extra notes I should add you think by be useful for an officer using this reference? Once I'm happy with it, I'll shrink it down onto A5 or something to make it PNB sized (for my force anyway!) and the…

Hello. Does anyone know when recruitment for Specials (Eng & Wales) is likely to open? Or further to that, PCs? (This thread can be used for this purpose if people are applying). The recruitment team have said that they recruit regularly, but that was mid-December.

Accommodation while training

Hi guys, As the current recruitment focus is on B Div, particularly inner London, I'm considering adding London as a choice to speed up my waiting time - it's been nearly a year now. I'm going to have to move regardless, so I don't really mind where, and with C Div pretty much at establishment, it could be a long wait for my current choices still. I've spoken to HR and they've said that accommodation is not provided for B Div postings and you're expected to relocate yourself in time to commence training. Is there any way around this? I live over 300 miles away from London so commuting from home is obviously out of the question, and I wouldn't be able to afford t…

Hi guys, I was just wondering if anyone had any information on likely intakes for new officers? I have been in the holding pool since Mar 2020. I would prefer not to badger the recruitment team. Especially since they advised not to in the Oct 20 email. Apparently there is a WhatsApp group aswell?

BTP Training Accommodation?

Can anyone please shed any light upon the accommodation provided for student police officers in London, during their initial training? Is it at Spring House (where the assessments were) or is it elsewhere? Also, what type is it? Dorm style, or en-suite private bedroom style? How long are you expected to use it for, cost etc. This would be incredibly helpful, as recruitment don't seem to be in a mood to divulge anything currently. Thanks.

Good evening all , i am new here and not quite sure if I am posting correctly but seek advice on the btp vetting process please. I would like to know how thorough they check as they are taking a longer time than expected . And if anyone else has any experience of their vetting process I have basically been offered a response role as a transferee conditional to the usual checks and medical. I have had my 10 year vetting completed last year with my current force too but obviously they need to run their checks . Any help would be most appreciated S

Does anyone have experience or knowledge of what a BTP medical is for a potential student officer (PC)? Is it a comprehensive check by a medical professional, or just your local GP signing off, or self-certifying form filler? Thanks.
