Metropolitan Police (London)

Hi, I as well as a few others are wondering what is the monthly pay while training at Hendon. Obviously we all have bills and a little insight as to how much we have would be really helpful. I heard its quite a reduced amount. Thanks

So I've been a Special since last June, and am still serving, however I had a Day 1 assessment this week (going down the CKP route, not IPS), overall I feel I did fairly well, must say that the maths questions were very difficult and were nothing like any example questions i've looked at. There were 9 of us in the group, none of us finished all the maths questions in time, I got to question 17 (21 q's, 23 mins) The verbal reasoning I feel I did very well in, as for the interview I feel that went very well, it flowed very well and the interviewer kept having to ask me to stop at the 5 minute mark per question, because I was giving detailed answers, possibly too d…

Hi all, So I'm through the paper sift and have my assessment on the 27th March and have a quick q for anyone who might have been through the MET Special Assessment recently. In the documentation I've been sent it says there is a written test and interview. Can anyone tell me if the written part entails a numeracy test? Numeracy has always been a weak point of mine and if it is included I'd like to try my best to remember all of that wonderful maths I hated at school 12 years ago... Thanks, sim

Hi all, Did my day 2 recently and i believe all went well. So should be receiving all info regarding next steps in due course. Just wanted to get some advice regarding the following. 1. What is the current starting wage for a PC who has transferred from MSC including London allowances etc. 2. What training will be next etc as im assuming it wont be CKP due to being MSC. Apologies if this information is elsewhere as in previous MSC-PC Campaigns the info was more readily available locally. Regards

Although she has only just been appointed, anybody have any thoughts on the appointment of the Met's first female top cop? (that is not meant to be a sexist comment in any way... just the way the Media are reporting it!)

Anyone on London Met start date April 2017? I am starting my internal CKP in March.

Got offered a place for the CKP commencing in January, Mon-Fri, however the email states there location will be in the London/Kent area, and specific locations will be announced closer to the date. Problem is I live near central London, commuting to Kent everyday would be about 1 and half hours+ each way. Does anyone know how they choose course providers? Because I don't see how I'll be able to commute 3 hours each day, won't be able to relocate due to funds and other personal issues. Of course it may very well be in London as the email did state "in the London/Kent area" but it's the Kent bit that has me worried. I've already declined the first offer for the C…

Hi Members For starters, I would like to voice my appreciation to all the active members in here for all the positive and helpful advice given in this forum. I have trawled through many of the topics and posts and do feel that I've learnt something from many of your shared experiences. I have worked in the private sector for many years, in a managerial capacity, but also served in the Armed Forces for several years prior to that. Although I'm no longer a youngster (so to speak) it has been my hankering for a long time to join the Police Services. The right time simply never seemed to come along. Until now. So, a month ago I bit the proverbial bullet and as…

Hi everyone, Anyone here booked on the 6th March internal CKP in Brentford? April intake?

Hello Guys and Girls! Having looked at this thread I've noticed a few shortcomings which I'd like to fix, but I can't do it alone! There are 32 Boroughs in the met and I would like to provide a brief description of them all to any aspiring officers to look at, sort of a "day in the life" type thing. "BUT WE ALREADY HAVE THIS" I hear you scream... Well we do, but it's a bit of a muddle, some of them are missing, some of them were never done and on a whole the topic is a bit messy. If you think you could provide this please PM me with the borough name and then your description which I will post in 1 super thread along with the others and credit you for y…

Does anyone know, how much the Met pays towards boots? Thanks :-)

Anyone seen the email about the new Hi vis jackets? Personally I think they're much better than the ones we have now and at least we will have a summer and winter/waterproof version as well.

Sorry if this has been asked before but I couldn't find an answer. I am close to living in London for 3 years. I was wondering how the Met would be able to check that you had lived in London for the required time period?

So, I've never used it before. Although I'm a PS and not a DS I don't wear uniform in my role and haven't worn a uniform for nearly 2 years so I've never had cause to use it. I recently thought that I might have to do a job in inform so thought I had better order some name badges as my old ones say "constable". I ordered them back in November (after spending hours trying to work out how) I think but they haven't turned up. How long do orders normally take and do you get an email or notification that items have been dispatched etc? It's amazing how out of date you become so quickly. I had to use COPA for the first time since 2015 this week and it's completely dif…
