Does anybody know if Hampshire Police offer anything extra to their staff if you are a Special Constable?

Hi guys, Having obtained a job with Hampshire I will be relocating probably to Hamble very soon. I don't know the area and don't know anybody down there so am really hoping to meet some people currently living in and around the area. PM me for a chat if any of you would like, I would appreciate any local knowledge that you can pass on. Dan

Oh well, got the e-mail few weeks ago saying I may or may not get in now as police staff will be getting in on the intakes if any come up.

Shame but I know im not the only one.

All, Please take five minutes to watch this interview. http://www.policeoracle.com/news/In-Depth-Moving-Forward-With-The-Specials_32930.html This was published this week on PoliceOracle.com.

Officers have blamed drinks such as Kick and Red Bull for "hyperactivity" among youths in Whitchurch. Police said community concern about nuisance being caused by large groups was the reason for the request. The British Soft Drinks Association said each can has the same amount of caffeine as a cup of coffee and makers cannot market the drinks to children. In a report to Whitchurch Town Council, police said: "There had been a large influx of youths in Whitchurch who had been making a nuisance of themsel…

I am currently a special in hampshire. I am thinking about joing the army. Is it possibly to stay as a special and make my hours up in the concentrated time I am on leave? thanks

At our assessment day (2 weeks ago Thursday) we were told that the turnaround of responses would be relatively quick as the next fitness day was a week today....haven't heard whether i was successful yet (although not very hopeful) and just wondered whether they would carry out tests with only a weeks notice! Thanks

Good Afternoon all, My names Dan, I am a 3 year service independent Special from WMP.
