Merseyside Police

Hey guys, I just got my invitation to attend an interview... That's right, I passed my PIRT :D I was just wondering if anyone else here has recently passed their PIRT and will be attending an interview this month... Leave a message as it would be cool to chat to someone else in my situation

Figured this gets brought up ALL THE TIME by new recruits / serving specials so figured it might be worth noting it... Its a topic that gets brought up over and over again, I got shown this through working with the NHS, but I realised when I logged onto the site they also condone Police (amongst other) discounts, which could work for some members on here, and would therefore stop new recruits 'flashing their warrant card' willy nilly ? although you may be wise as to check with your supervisors etc. before signing up, as to whether it is acceptable to use it? The Website is: http://www.bluelightcard.co.uk/index.php?p=about I'm not really sure what discounts they offer …

Might seem like a silly question, but work have just sent me on a first aid course. Can I get signed off as first aid qual'd to use this on duty if needed or do I have to do a first aid course via Merpol?

Hi, first off I'm on this forum looking for a bit of help with college work and posted another topic here and would be grateful if anyone could help. But anyway I had a little experience with Merseyside Police and just wanted to know if anyone may be able to help me. So the story is I was having something to eat one day by my own and I was sitting on the bank of the River Mersey, I was minding my own business and not causing any trouble and then all of a sudden a Police man comes up to me and starts talking saying someone thought I may jump in and be mental etc. I talked to him for a while and he asked to take my details and at first I was a little apprehensive as …

Could possibly be starting for the above job in the very near future and just want to know what the training is like? Also what I am in for when put on active duties? I have got a good idea but just want some further info from anyone. Any advice or comments are welcome. Thanks!

Hi, I am eligable for the SPP payment this year. As some of you may know, it is paid at christmas... but does anyone know if we get it before christmas..or after christmas day... also are we actually getting it this year with the torys getting in and budget cuts etc...

Hi all Wondered if any recent merpol recruits could let me know what the training is like? Got my fitness and vetting early may and getting quite excited now. Intakes hopefully are in Jun, Jul, Aug, Oct, Nov, Dec...I'm going to be moving to liverpool and just wondered the following: - how long are you at Lea Green for and what are the hours? when do you go out to your BCU and enter onto shifts - are you told when leave is at start of training (just for booking holidays etc? - how is your BCU decided and do you get any choice? also is it the same for neighbourhood or response? Thank you Stacy

Hi guys..... i have started a new post. Has anyone heard anything yet? i keep reading about a the next intake being june/july with a freeze on intakes after that...anyone heard anything similiar? If so, its a tight timeline, but it would be fab. How's everyone getting on? started prep yet? I was in liverpool this weekend..first time in ages, so was great to recognise some of the places i'm reading about...got fairly excited :biggrin: Hope everyone is good... stacy

Hey all, Well done to those who passed :-). I have my fitness & medical on 6th May starting @ 9am. I just had a thought- is anyone traverlling from North Wales on this day, I was hoping to share a lift (I can share petrol cost) or have some company on the train :-). Tash xx

Hi guys... dont mean to alarm anyone but after doing some digging it seems that merpol are quite strict on the sickness record.... they look for no more than 3 occasions in the last three years. If you have anymore then you need to put in with your info reasons behind the sickness in the hope that they might still accept you. If they reject you, you can appeal i believe. It three occasions not three days..... again i wish everyone luck with there applications. stacy

Lots of rumours at the moment re forthcoming budget cuts and the possibility that older officers will be given the opportunity of early retirement. Anyone heard anything other than rumours?
