Hi all. Long time lurker around the forums. Recently had my interview for the role of Special Constable and today (much to my surprise) received the news that I had successfully passed the interview. Just like to say thanks to everyone on here who has posted advice for not just the interview but the whole recruitment process as I have been trawling through the forum reading advice and information at every stage and I have no doubt in my mind that this has been a contributing factor to me being successful at each assessment stage of the process. Hopefully all the necessary checks and paperwork come back in a satisfactory and timely manner now. For anyone interested i…

Hi, I gave my fingerprints on the 6th October ish and I still haven't heard anything about training dates so I was just wondering if anyone else had heard and how normal it was to wait so long.
