Hi all! I'm new to these forums, which by the way seem to be amazing for info from people on the same boat! Joining the police has been a dream of mine from a young age, one I am now ready to persue, and am planning on submitting my application this week hopefully! A quick question though for anyone who might know or share a thought.

reading another forum thread somewhere says July intake is 19th, anyone confirm this. Could it be anyway possible that if successful through all stages that this intake could be made, have initial interview late May?

just found out today by letter failed initial interview, absolutely gutted, so hacked off. Ive asked recruitment to give me feedback as to why and they said they'll phone me tomorrow. Good luck to everyone else in the process and hope you all do better than I did. Its going to be a agonisingly long 1 year to wait. Just hope the decline is due to something I can change for next time. All the best everyone.. Kev.
