Metropolitan Police (London)

Hi All, Hope you are well, does anyone know where we can practise the written test for Day 1, mine is on Monday 26th March Thanks Rob

Hi guys, Just a quick question, as a student I'm looking to work for G4S this summer specifically at the Olympics. However, looking through this http://www.policespecials.com/forum/index.php?/topic/49847-restricted-occupations/ I may have to get permission from the MET, does anyone know the email to whom I may have to ask in regards to this, to be honest does anyone think its likely that'll accept it? Conflict of interest, considering I'll be working on an Olympic Borough? Thanks for your time :new_eyebrow:

Hello there. I was wondering if anyone could tell me exactly what you are issued with as a SC with the met? I see that in another force area they had a big list of everything you get issued with and thought it would be a good idea if there was one for the MET. Charlie.

I'm filling in the forms for my Day 2, and in the list of unsuitable business interests it lists "Any employment where there is a degree of confidentiality expected that may conflict with the interests of being a police officer, e.g. nursing, counselling, etc" Does this mean when that I become a doctor I will have to resign from the met?

Just finished MSC day 9 a couple of hours ago. speaking with the rest of my class mates, they have all had some sort of contact via email since starting the training now. I have had nout... I asked the trainer today and he wasn't to sure about who to contact as he said he normally does PC training. Just wondering if anyone has got an email address or something I could just send a message to. Only correspondence from the met I'v had since applying is a Day 1 letter, Day 2 letter and then training dates and references.. Or am I just worrying and is this normal?

Ive been signed on to do my Public Order level 3 this saturday but have no idea of the times I am supposed to be there or what equipment we need to take/what we need to wear? Anybody else in the same boat? Need advice please??? Have tried ringing Hendon but there is no answer

Having problems logging in with tapatalk on my iPhone with this forum. Anyone else having issues ????

Hello all, I was going to visit my Mum after a long and grueling fitness session I prepared for myself ahead of my Day 2 next Tuesday. However, A TSG van abruptly stopped and 4 officers jumped out and approached me. The eldest officer spoke to me and said he was going to search me...He then asked me what I do for a living, what I was doing in the area and for ID. The reason he gave for stopping me was because I had my hood up and I had my hands in my pocket which made me look suspicious. He took my name down and my D.O.B but nothing else so what does this mean? I've emailed the Specials HR team to let them know and will ring them in the morning. I'm a bit of a worrier!…

Not really a met topic, but anyone who didnt make it as MET DDO, the BTP are about to start a DDO recruitment in London area, information is from a trustworthy source.

Any ZT SCs who could drop me a PM please? Thanks, IJ A/S/Insp Epsom

So I was chatting with a mate of mine and we were discussing the MSC, of IPS, regular recriuitment and the Olympics. There was some disagreement about what peoples primary motiviation, especially in how the changed nature of regular recruitment is affecting the demographic of the MSC. Previously we've been very good at representing the wider world which the Met polices but the question of, is there a larger chunk of people joining (who can afford to support themselves/change their circumstances) hoping to do the PLC and become regulars. So, as per the Poll (A Poll! A Poll! I hear you shout), why did you join? How long have you been in? and are you IPS? Oh and this is o…

Hi guys and girls - Bromley (PY) - Is there parking in the police station itself for response team officers? If not how many minutes walk away is the nearest free all day parking? Thanks people....

As per the title really, when should you find out which borough you will be working out of once you have passed Day 1&2 +vetting? Is it once you are at Hendon or before hand? PC
