Police Scotland

Hi everyone! I have Points Duty training this Sunday (A Division) and was just wondering if those who have done it could explain a little more about what will happen etc? Thanks!

Hi, I'm basically just looking for some advice on timings. I sent off my PC Police Scotland (West Command) application around 5 weeks ago and I'm wondering how long does the average application take to get back to the applicant?

I've been filling out my application form and I've been thinking about the diversity question. In Police Scotlands application(I'm not sure about the rest) the question asks what to explain what differed between you and another person. After that it asks "Which aspect of the difference did you find most difficult to deal with?", now, I didn't really find any aspect of the differences between me and the other person difficult to deal with, as I've been brought up to be pretty accepting of differences between individuals. Do you think it would be an acceptable answer to basically say "I didn't find any aspect of the difference between us difficult" and then give the reaso…

For anyone yet to receive the news as it filters down through the divisions, the payment scheme is staying for the next financial year and a further review into its future after that will take place early 2015

Hi All I have applied for Tayside division and I have recently started doing my fitness preparations with my friend (Mike Lima). I was wondering if any applicants in the Dundee area would like to join us while we train.

For all you going to Jackton On Fri for Set & fitness. How we feeling??

I'm 3 weeks into training and I know I'm E devision but I'd like to work at Drylaw. Could I ask for this or do you not get that choice?

Application sent 4weeks ago now, sitting waiting on the post every morning but no news yet anyone else at same stage?

Tomorrow @Policescotland will be posting inappropriate and time wasting 999 calls. Follow using the hashtag #999PoliceScot @AyrshireNPolice will also be hosting a 24 hour live tweetathon of all the calls/incidents in the area from 7am. Follow using the hashtag #PolScot24

Hi everyone! I just sent off my application and received confirmation of receipt. It's started hitting home that I've applied for the Police! I've started training for it but I do need some help. I'm getting mixed advice from different sources, with some saying HIIT is better than just going for a run every morning and vice versa. Can anyone recommend a good training plan that will help bring up my fitness at a good rate? Cheers ML

Hi all! I understand that as part of training, we have to encounter CS Spray. Was just wondering if anyone could give details on: A - how it's done and B - what it feels like I can't imagine it feels very pleasant haha! Thanks

Hi everyone, me again! I won't be doing my first shift until near the end of May but I was just wanting some opinions/advice. My first shift is looking likely to be a Saturday night. How long would people recommend going out for? I had the idea of a 12 hour shift, say from 7pm-7am but feel this may be too long. What did you guys do on your first shift or what would you recommend? Cheers!
