Hi all, Just had an email advising I'm being progressed for a September intake (all going well) so thought it would be a good idea to make a thread for those in the same position. I was also asked to get my uniform fitting appointment booked in. Find this interesting that I've been told to do this as I haven't completed my fitness or substance misuse tests yet and hadn't heard of it being done in this order before. Just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat.

I don't know if it's a silly question, but you know how these wee rules can exist that perhaps wouldn't cross your mind as an issue. Thought I would ask to be certain. Thanks.

Hi, I'm not sure if this question is permitted but can anyone give any insight on the new SET's for police Scotland, the maths portion in particular? I did well using the practice papers and a calculator for the old SET's but no practice papers and no calculator for the new one has me worried. What level of maths are maths are they expecting, just basic mental arithmetic? Thanks

Hi guys, just had an email inviting me to the new style fitness test, which is the 1.5 mile run. now this might sound like a stupid question, but I thought I’d ask it anyway. I can run the 1.5mile distance in the stipulated time no problem, however, I always seem to get to about a mile and need to stop for about a 30-40 second breather before continuing on. Is this allowed in the test? Or does it have to be continuous for the entire 1.5 mile? Thanks in advance guys and sorry if this is a stupid question.

DC transferring to Police Scotland

Hi all. I’m a current DC in Surrey Police looking to transfer ideally to L division. Been down south for a while and it’s time to move back home. Worked in specialist teams for the last 8 years (SOIT, Online child abuse team, CID and proactive & new entrant recruitment) To be honest I’ve no idea what to expect. Are there any transferees who’ve done it and can give any advice? I understand it’ll be a 4 week conversion course. Is it written in stone that you would generally have to go back into uniform to find your feet?
