Had my Selection Assesment last night for specials which covered A dictation assesment A learning Skills Exercise A public speaking exercise and finally A group Exercise Got a call within the last 5 minutes to say i was successfull have my medical mid August and if all ok, training starts in October! Im assuming that means if i pass my medical that im in?

So how did everyone feel about the airwave training today then? I thought it was a good laugh actually... Jazz Hands!

Hi Guys, I was at my drugs screening yesterday with around 40 other folk, it seemed that there might have only been 4 or us that are going for specials. They recruitment SGT said that while we were waiting to go for screening she would do "pre-posting" interviews with us. (correct me if im wrong, but did she mean this more towards the regulars?). When you folk started training, when were you told your divisions & subs? Cheers, Chris

Welcome to the Grampian Police chat thread.

Hey Hey :D did anyone else turn up for drug screening today (friday), only to be told that the "out side drug screening agencey" was going to be late!! Cheers, Chris

I had my medical examination today at Jackton and managed to fail the hearing test. I was wondering if anyone has experienced similar situation. It was a bit of a shock as otherwise i am in perfect health. Apparently my left ear doesn't pass the standards set. I am told to have another test through my GP but was curious if anyone has experienced anything similar (time scales etc). Cheers Jack

Anyone got a bet on the U.S open ? I got a tenner on Phil mickelson at 14/1 and £5 e/w on Poulter. Think I got him at 60/1 ! Phil is winning it anyway

So! Who feels ready to hit the streets then? Do you feel like you've learned enough to get you started? A few of us have our first shift(s) sorted - anyone getting nervous? 11 days from today.........

Just a heads up to those of you who have still to send off your forms and money...I sent mine off last week and received a letter saying that the process can take up to 8 weeks so if you're keen to get it sorted before you start at your station then I'd probably send it off asap. I got two of the training staff to sign my form. Martin

I was just wondering what is considered smart but casual in the eyes of Strathclyde Police? I go for my medical on Wed 17th June but the letter states "Smart buy Casual" Jeans and shirt/polo shirt?

Just wanted to see how people got on with the final interview, Ive passed and signed some papers :D just a waiting game for training now

hey guys thought id change the tone a lil bit and find out more about us outside of the police so my question is: what sports do you take part in that are a lil out of the usual? obv i play footie etc but i also really enjoy whitewater rafting, canyoning, zorbing, paintballing and ofcourse a bit of extreme ironing, so what about everyone else, any interesting sports or interests (keep it clean ladies and gentlemen this is a public forum)?
