    Hi all. I see there is a force specific forum that has password access. Does anyone know how I get access to this? I see it says I have to contact Tom but not sure who it is. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hi. I am interested in joining Police Scotland and have my heart set on joining the Armed Response Unit when the opportunity arises after my two year probation. I was wondering if anyone could explain how one would achieve a position within this specialisation. Also, the Civil Nuclear Constabulary (CNC) are recruiting for a position very local to myself. Would anyone regard it worthwhile to join the CNC to gain firearms qualifications, and experience to later leave (since you can't transfer) and join Police Scotland from scratch? I may after all find my place in the CNC, but policing in a traditional sense is more so what I am after hence why Police Scotl…

    In a decision that has come with no fanfare or publicity, Police Scotland have appeared to drop their bleep test pass rate to a flat 5.4 rather than the existing age and gender determined levels (at its highest, 9.2 for males 29 and under, and 7.3 for females 29 and under). A wise move, or the setting of a dangerous precedent? Sent from my iPhone using Police Community

    Looking for some feedback from some Specials. I've just applied for specials due to the fact I have 3 young kids and can't commit to full time at this moment but hoping to in time. I have heard some things re specials but I don't personally know any. So looking for some advice etc

    I am asking on behalf of a friend who is interested in joining one specific specialisation but says the possibility of rotation is putting him off. I personally haven't heard of such, but was hoping if someone could clarify for me? Thanks.

    Hi, Would it be possible for people to post their experiences and recommendations of different police boots? I am looking at the moment and don't want to make an expensive mistake! Also if there are specific shops that stock them besides at the SPRA shop at Jackton. Thanks in advance.

    Hi. Do Police Scotland allow Police Officer applications from current Reservist personnel? If not, do Police Scotland allow their officers to pursue a position within the Armed Forces Reserves? Thanks in advance

    I was just needing to know if anyone has purchased the New recruit kit from the SPRA shop? How did you find the boots/shoes? Are they of good quality, comfortable etc? Would you recommend buying online or visiting the shop? I live in Aberdeen so I would prefer just to have it delivered

    Hi guys, first post on the forum, but have found some really helpful information thus far. Was just a quick question in regards to the final interview at the end of the A/C. Firstly did people find it longer/shorter than the initial? Generally did it differ much from the initial? and finally is it a one to one rather than a panel interview again? Or does it differ in certain circumstances? Thanks for any replies in advance & hope to meet some new & friendly faces there.

    Hi all, Just after a bit of general device. Looking for as much information as you can possibly throw at me regarding the recruitment process as it is just now (be really handy if anyone in training at Tulliallan just now or recent probationers were on here and had a bit of advice). Just trying to find out as much about the job as possible and the recruitment process, a more specific place to start could be can anyone tell me how G division is? Want to stick that down as my first choice (and hopefully get it) as It'd be great to get the city centre beat. Also looking to find out whats involved in the fitness test, would say Im relatively fit at the mo…
