Just out of interest does anyone know what training style BTP follow for new PC'S. I do believe there are two, the IPLDP and then the diploma in policing as well. Just wandering really what BTP do?

I know it personal preference but with OST around the corner I am wondering where BTP officers keep there CAPTOR spray as we can have our belts on or our PDA Vests. I have tried it on the belt and gets in the way occassionaly. On the PDA vest it doesnt pull away straight away....both has it downsides.

Hey guys I have quick question, im in the BTP reg app process at the moment and was wondering how their radios are tuned. (I dont want any operational info) Im hoping if all goes well I will be posted to Leicester which is a small staion only 3 or 4 officers, now if I press the red button will officers from Leicestershire police attend the call? Im just wondering because Leicester is a pretty big busy city.

Hi, Apologies if this has already been answered somewhere but this is a rather active board and haven't found it yet. Does anyone know where the training is held for new officers (regs). I've applied and because I have kids I'd like to make sure I'm fully prepared, just in case. It's quite a short time frame for the recruitment process so I don't want to be running around last minute making arrangements should I get in. Cheers

Does anybody know why the people who are going for the fitness test for SC are to arrive at different times and is this a common procedure? Thanks
