Police Scotland

Hi all, I am hoping someone can help me here as I can't find the article anymore, but basically Tesco are to recruit resident coppers into their stores. Obviously they wouldn't be working for Tesco, they will still be police officers, but in an attempt to boost community spirit, and as Tesco is so huge, they have seen this as an initiative. Now thats one part of the story, the next part I was slightly concerned with, and I am thinking it isn't applying to Scotland (Pardon the poor grammar). With looming Police Cuts, Tesco is vowing to offer positions of Team leaders/Managers and customer service assistants to police specials who become victims of the police cut backs…

Hi i'm looking for some help... I've just had a rejection letter from strathclyde Police after my first interview, which I thought went ok. I'm totally gutted as really want to join.

Hi lads and ladies, I just graduated from Stirling University in June with an Hons in Software Engineering. I always wanted to be in the police so I decided to apply, as well as applying for software graduate jobs. I got a letter last week informing me that I will be sitting my SET/fitness soon but I havent had a date yet. I have one major concern tho, my weight. I checked the BMI for my height and I should be 11st 8 lbs, I am far from that. I do powerlifting and bodybuilding and I weigh 14.5 stone. I can do the time for the run no problem, I just hope they take my weight situation into account. Anybody else think they will have probs with the BMI test? Thanks.

If i do manage to get in i just wondered are these suitable for Scotland or are there other sets for North of the border i could get Are they any use,and has anyone got them http://www.police-information.co.uk/crysta...s.html#download

Hi guys not been on this in a while, as i was rejected for the regs last november. I passed my initial interview and faild my vetting. This was due to me forgetting that i had been charged when i was 14 for assult. :D (which i regret) . i'm applying again next month when my year is finished. I'm currently not working as i've been made redundant and the 20th november cant come quick enough! Really hope this is going to happen for me because i've waited all year for another chance and had a really poop year due to being in and out of work Any ideas as to what stage i will start at again and what i should be doing just now?. I've applied to do some voluntry work while im no…

Hi guys, Just revising for my intial interview and wondered if any one knows where I can find a list of the sub divisional commanders for G division? I've had a look on the strathy websit but to no avail. Also, any suggestions on what the main issues Strathclyde police are facing at the moment? Cheers, :D

Hi All Is anyone else starting with the regs on 9th November? I've been told i'm starting and have a date for my uniform fitting but not had my offer letter yet. Does anyone else have this? Keen to get it so i can hand my notice in and have a week or two off before starting. Also can someone tell me what to expect? What is the time at Tulli like? How much PE will we be doing? What's the food like? etc etc Any info will be appreciated. thanks :D

Hi all :D Just for your info: As you know we need to get our own torches when we are ready to go out on the beat. Well I work in Currys.digital in Town and we have the LED Lenser Police Tech torch in, and its a great torch and apparently a lot of officers use it. Its currently priced at £24.99, which I think is very reasonable and competitive as it was on ebay for over £33! (I decided to treat myself and get it) If you are interested then pm or reply and I will check stock when I am in again on Saturday (as we only ever have a few at a time). But its a very good torch and at a good price...I can also arrange a wee demo as I am sure we get some that have batteries and…

Hi There Got my initial interview soon and have been looking at the Strathclyde Police and Tulliallan websites for information. I know all the info with regards to the training course but have not been able to find anything about the 6 modules. Can anyone shed any light on what these are. Many Thanks

Hi folks ! I was just wondering if anyone could tell me a bit more about the fitness test at Jackton.......well, actually, what I really want to know is what you actually did for your fitness test, or things that you have heard from others who've been through it. Any info would be really appreciated, as I sit my SET and fitness in a few weeks and I'm really starting to panic big-time about it now!!!!! Thank-you!!!!

Hey Guys Not sure if anyone is interested, but I was thinking that maybe people who are starting at fettes on the 20th Oct would maybe like to meet somewhere in town before next tuesday just so we can meet each other, and that way it might not be so nerveracking for everyone Anyone who is interested can PM me and we can try to get something organised.
