Cambridgeshire Constabulary

I was just wondering what the average amount of hours it takes to acheve IPS in cambridgeshire. I appreciate it is different for everyone.

Dear Cambridgeshire colleagues, You may have noticed on the General Discussion page a posting for the ps.com supported 'Special Constabulary Wiki'. I am wondering, should any of you have a spare moment, whether you can contribute by populating the page for your force? The page can be found here: http://specialconstabulary.wikispot.org/Cambridgeshire_Constabulary Many thanks and look forward to reading about the specials in Cambridgeshire! Matt.

Hi all, is there anybody for the September '12 intake aware of the status of their SC application progress; i.e. vetting in? Also if you know any provisional dates (uniform fitting, training, expected attestation, etc.) upfront that would be handy too. Cheers.

Evening everyone. A uni friend of mine has applied to Cambs to be a regular officer. I have been asked what the regular PIRT consists of and because my own force doesn't use the PIRT I can't answer his question. I was wondering if any of you delightful people could explain what the regular PIRT consists of and I will rely the message back to him (or get him to join this forum). I have been told its spelling and grammar etc but confirmation would be great! Much appreciated Cookie

Hi all, As the title states is there anyone from here going to HQ that day? Cheers.

Helloooooo, please could someone inform me what the structure of the exams are that you take in your training as i would like to know how they are laid out and how to approach them? Any information will be much appreciated. Many Thanks

Hello guys, I have some concerns, questions and would appreciate your input Whilst I'm aware vetting can take forever and a day I would like to know how long your vetting took from sending yoir forms to HQ. I have been successful at the assessment centre in January but only just sent the forms myself. I have fully filled in all the forms sent to myself, but there wasn't anything asked about family other than my Mother and Father, my concern is my half-brother who has a criminal record, which I don't know what exactly for, but I would say he was involved in burglary and falsifying cheques when I was very young. I'm not in regular contact with him and he also lives abro…

Hello, Just wanted to see who will be attending? as this will be my first time. and my nerves are kicking in already! maths :new_doh2: not my strongest point i must admit. also just hope my nerves dont let me mess up the interview either! Is it your first attempt or 2nd, 3rd....? would love to get some general advice and thoughts about this day 1. from you all.

Hi, I've got my medical coming up soon and although I don't need hearing aids etc but I know my hearing isn't....'perfect' so I was just wondering if anyone knew the hearing requirements to pass the Special Constables medical?? I'm not overly worried just something that's been nagging me. Timtim

Are there provisions/discounts/exemptions in Cambridgeshire for Police/Specials/PCSO's travelling on public transport?

Hi everyone, just a quick message to introduce myself! Just discovered this very useful site. I have currently passed my A/C and i'm a few weeks into Specials Training now and absolutely loving it. I'm an impatient sort, would love to eventually end up in the regs, but one step at a time! The material is comprehensive and i've got a decent trainer. My only problem is i want to get out there! I'm in Central Division, should be working out the St. Ives and Hnutingdon area. Anyone else policing that beat? Many thanks guys.

Can someone who is a special in cambs please PM me as I've got a question

Hi Everyone, Saw a couple of Police officers in Cambridge city centre today - You guys have some pretty decent kit by the looks of things! Am I correct in thinking that you get issued both a high-vis stabvest cover as well as a black one - also, I love the PNB holder in the middle - a few colleagues of mine in Essex have cut a hole in to their stabbie and made their own - doesn't have quite the same charm to it. So you've got them, the black polo shirts, you get a proper light weight high-vis which as epaulette slides etc and the battenberg markings - (Our one in Essex has no epaulette space on it, instead we have our warrant number on the back and front). Not compla…

Hi, all. Just wondering if anyone else out there (on this forum) is going through the sweet torment of preparing for an A/C with Cambs next week?? Good luck to anyone going through any recruitment process going at the mo!! Adler

I've passed the application part of the process and I'm due at the Assessment Centre in Monk's Wood on the 4th May. Anyone else attending on this date?? Cheers! Stoneman.
