Can anybody answer a question for me totally without reserve on the following fictitious scenario: Officers are called to a fairly minor domestic? no real violence reported. After initial interview with householder and his wife things calm down. The male Householder says to one of the two officers present:" I'm a bit concerned that my wife's daughter might turn up to the house and start trouble. The daughter is twenty one years old and with no previous of any kind.The officer says to the Householder:" OK give me your mobile phone I'll give her a call and advise her to stay away from the house." And the officer makes the call in those terms. Question: would this operat…

Hi All. With regard to specials driving permits, I wondered if GMP officers and staff could let me know the categories of the force's common vehicles. I've put down what I think they are classed as by GMP, but please could people let me know if I've got any of them wrong. Car - Car Transit van (Inc VW Transporter and Housing assoc) with 6 seats (3 in front, 3 facing backwards behind) and cage - Car Transit van with 3 seats in front and large cage - Van People carrier (Vauxall Zafira / Merc Viano style) - Car Ford transit CONNECT (AKA Data Van) (2 seats in front, 3 facing forward behind) - Car Dog van (Vauxhall Astravan style) - Car PSU carrier - D1 permit Also, …

Does anyone have any idea if GMP are likely to be taking reg transferees at any point over the next two years? It's not for me, it's for, erm, a friend...

Hey everyone I just passed my Fitness test on the 12th, and was told that a medical will be due. Anyone able to tell me on average how long it takes to get to the medical and where it is held at. Be great help

I was just curious if anyone happened to have any information on when they believe the next Event Evening for the GMP Special Constabulary is likely to occur, in order to acquire the on-line (only way to apply) application form. The last event was August - the recruitment team only seem able to state the following sentence: "Please continue to check the website regularly".. I've personally been refreshing the page constantly, on a daily basis, since July (The events were fully booked up at the time).. and there still doesn't seem to be any information relating to any events being due in the near future. I've noticed certain Police Forces such as Essex, currently have a f…

hey everyone. I am just wondering if anyone else will be going to the fitness test at claytonbrook tomorrow at 7am ???

Hi Everyone, Just wondering if anybody on the forum also was at the Induction Weekend at Sedgley Park this week? And if so, what did you all think? I personally really enjoyed it, everybody is beginning to get to know each other a bit more - be better for the upcoming training at Claytonbrook, Hough End, and Sedgley. (Can't wait... ) Well done to you all anyway... for getting this far! Delta22

Hello, Has anybody heard anything, or have any view at all on the situation with recruitment of regs. And going forward, are specials going to be priority when regs recruitment begins again? I am definately looking to become F/T in the future, this is the reason for asking. Would appreciate any views on this. Thank you! Delta22

Hi I have recently put in an application for CID in GMP. I don't have loads of experience so it will be a challenge to get in. However from my understanding it’s not so much your experience as it is how well you can evidence things and whether you can show that you go the extra mile with your investigations. I'm applying straight off response and was hoping someone on the forum maybe able to give me some advice. The 733 I submitted was all about examples for Peer leadership so I would imagine I would have to evidence this further, they seem to have replaced the old behavioural competencies. I have also been trying to evidence examples times I have been first on scen…

"CK" usally followed nu the divisional letter. What does it stand for?

I was just wondering, after receiving an email, if anyone is doing the Sept 2010 Foundation Degree in Policing at Lancashire University? To me it sounds very interesting but the course is full time Mon-Fri at either Preston or Burnley and with me having to work and things to pay for its quite impossible. Quote from the email: "You are not guaranteed a job as a Police Officer at the end of the course. The advantage of achieving the Foundation Degree is that if you then successfully pass GMP's recruitment process you will not be required to complete the full training programme (currently approximately 39 weeks). You will likely complete a GMP familiarisation type course,…
