Hi, I have just been accepted to join Hampshire Specials. Fitness test is due soon. Anyone else in the same boat? Dave

Before training I need to learn radio status codes. Can anyone shed light on what they actually are? I presume they are a way of informing control of your status without clogging up the radio, so if you were at a scene you'd simply press 6 on your radio. Am I right? Or talking nonsense?

Good evening, The PST Fun Day is soon approaching i just wondered if anyone from here is attending? If so any idea what it might entail? Hope to see you there!

Hey all, hope youve all had an amazing christmas and i wish everyone on PS.com all the best for the new year! Now, I know that to apply for 99% if not 100% of all police forces through-out the United Kingdom require that all applicants have a driving licence. I am eager to get started on lessons again and its been over a year since i had a lesson and my last instructor was very intimidating and impatient.
