I have just registered with the BTP's website. Wondering if people have any information about the current state of play with recruitment, i.e. how often to vacancies come up, how big is the waiting list, do they tend to recruit in batches (one assumes so) and when that might next be happening? Many Thanks.

I'm wondering if there any BTP in Sheffield on here? There is a chance I could be joining here so wondered if anyone was about on here? Chris

I apologise if this has been covered elsewhere but i can't find it. I realise that there is a 'What i did on duty' thread in the general discussion forum, but there doesn't seem to be a great deal on the BTP side of things. I'm currently awaiting a training start date after completing the application & vetting process' as are a number of other guys and girls on my intake. I would be grateful if any of the SC's, PC's, PCSO's etc on here could give us some insight into a days work of a BTP officer. I'm really eager to get going and i'm guessing the others on my intake our too so this will help us build up a picture of what to expect. There is a day in the life sect…

All, I'm writing this to hear both opinions and possible facts/ rumours (if they exist) on future recruitment for BTP Regulars, (possibly specific to London South/North or L Area). I'm an SPC, who has joined with the ambition of becoming a full-time regular at some point. In order to achieve this i'm attempting to establish myself as a commited special, putting in as many hours as I can, and getting my PDP signed off in order to be considered competent, (not just in my own right, but considered competent by my colleagues). I would like to hear from any current Regulars (if they are on here), that made the transition from BTP SPC to BTP PC.... I've seen a couple of po…

Hi everyone, Just a quick question. i have been looking at officers trouser heights on tv & pictures and they all seem to be worn on the hips, however when i was measured i was around belly button height giving me a 'simon cowell' look. Is this where everyone wears theirs?

The new SOP on Dress and Appearance was finalised last August. Parts of it seemed very sensible and were good, whilst others seem ridiculous. Good - Ability to wear short sleeve shirt open necked at any time of the year at the WEARER's discretion. Previously it was unfair that a Sgt who has traditionalist views for his team should make you sweat and feel uncomfortable whilst you can see another team on duty at the same time, whose Sgt would say 'the suns out, ties off" Good - beard has been defined. Too many people with 5 o clock shadow type fashion stubble. A beard looks fine. Clean shaven looks fine. But 'fashion stubble' just says to me that you savoured an extra 10 …
