Hey guys I am hoping to become a special for the autumn intake. I didn't have to sit the upcoming assessment days because i applied for the regulars but failed on the interview :new_no: but my interviewing officer put down on my file that he was recommending me for the specials :new_yes: so not all bad. I have just had my medical, (still waiting on the drugs results) but i know the result of that lol but whats next? i assume vetting. and also when does training begin for the autumn intakes? Thanks

Hi, Just getting my next two weeks of study prepared for my assessment centre :-) When I visited a station we spoke with a probahtioner who stated he was a 'Reponse Officer' - now I know that there are many different roles you can do at the rank of constable but I was wondering if someone could name some of these for me. Hope I make sense! For example you have Community Officers and SNT's etc. Is there a specifc structure? Thanks guys!

Did anyone read this the other day about English officers facing discrimination north of the border? Not sure how rampant it is or if it's just another sensationalist article but as an English(wo)man coming north, I do worry.....

So just found out that ill be starting B division after Tulliallan Anyone else based there?

The chief constable of Strathclyde Police has been appointed to lead the new Police Service of Scotland. Stephen House, 54, is expected to take up his role with the new force, which formally comes into being next April, in the autumn. His appointment was confirmed by the Scottish Police Authority. Mr House said he was "delighted" to accept the £208,000-a-year role which will see him lead the UK's second largest police force. Speaking after his appointment was confirmed, Mr House said: "My views on the creation of a single Police Service of Scotland have been widely publicised so it gives me great professional pride to be trusted with the responsibility for developing …

Hi - I've read a lot of good stuff about the application process but nothing about the Medical? What do they test on it? Is it at Jackton?

Welcome to the Lothian and Borders Police chat thread.

Hi I was wondering if anyone had I letter with there test date. I sent my application away in July and I have only had my letter to say they received it. Also can anyone give m info on spent convictions I am a prison officer and I have a full disclosure and it did state that I had nothing on my on the police national computer but I am slightly worried. I have heard that you get a chance to disclose anything before you take the exam any reply would be great cheers guys :)

Hi guys If the specials that were sworn in this May want to join next year as regulars, is it definitely 1 year from that date? Some folk have been saying we can apply as early as March next year?

Hi, For anyone who passed the final panel interview, can you tell me how long after the final interview you had your medical? Do they do hearing tests etc.? Thanks

I'm still waiting to hear if I've passed the paper sift. Applied in July and called to today to be told that my application is currently being sifted and I should find out if I'm succesful in the next two or three weeks. Good to have an approximate timeline as the waiting game isn't easy In the meantime, just being trying to do my homework and work on my 1.5 mile run time, only tried it three times and I'm just finishing at 12 minutes but hope to shave at least a minute off that. Just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat. Also wondering if anyone has recently been invited for SET/fitness as I'd be interested to hear when these are going to take place. Slightly w…

Hi everyone, Was wondering whether role play situations are part of the application process. I have heard this mentioned but can't seem to locate anything about this on the Strathclyde website. Thanks Chris
