Hampshire Constabulary

Im asking as I defered my training for 6 months up until now and just realised im now not going to know anyone this weekend! I was originally in 210, not sure if its 5/610 im joining now?!

Just after some clarification. I have been asked to do a PROMAT identification on a case I am involved in. However, I am sure PCs and SCs are exempt from doing these? Has anyone else done or been involved in one?

Here's a lovely little gift for those like me who get excited over the new vehicles we're trailing! It's currently at Fratton with RPU. Enjoy!

Just had a call for Netley as i was just about to leave, that training this weekend is postponed!

So my training starts next month, and im getti g quite nervous So i was wondering what i can expect in training? Obviously im not expecting you guys to give to much away, but im wondering what the tests are like, easy/hard? And are there any tips anyone is willing to share? Thanks

HI I am after the email address for the Hampshire Consabulary vetting department. If anyone could help it would be appreciated. Thanks Darren

Hello all, Very quick question. I'm sure that I heard once that a Special has 30 days in which to withdraw their resignation from the Constabluary. Is this true? Like I say, I am sure that I have heard that, or maybe even read it on here. Either that or a very, very, strange dream. Cheers.

I was at the Southampton Boat Show Today. Two launches were there and suddenly I noticed a sign on one of the vessels. It basically said there was a review into the future operation of the Marine Unit, and if anybody was interested in purchasing one of the three launches to speak to a crew member! With all the cuts going on, is the Marine Unit for the kybosh?

Hello all, Just received my Specials application pack through by email. The email states not to complete the competencies in the pack, following a new recruitment structure. Has anyone got any details on this? I'm guessing the competencies come into play at a later stage, or there are other or more effective means by which to assess applicants? Just wondered, thanks for any help Sam
