West Mercia Police

Hi, I have my final interview for West Mercia coming up and I’m trying to find more info on the training, e.g where regs student officers do their training? I’ve looked on the website and can only find info for SC, I’ve also spoken to the recruitment team and the lady I spoke to didn’t know. Can anyone shed some light on this please? Thanks in advance Vee

Im ERPT. We investigate or own crimes down here, and because CID can't recruit numbers they've decided to refuse certain jobs they deem, not serious enough. Cheeky monkeys. Anyone transferred this way? What's the big differences? Cheers. I would be in S Worcs for mid January

Guys, does your force area use EDIT Testing yet? Is it a skill you can get up there? Cheers

Hello all, I'm Worcester born and bred, but have spent the last 4 years in Dyfed-Powys. Just now have jumped at the opportunity to transfer to West Mercia with the most recent intake. I've got my interview on the 8th June, concerning competencies, knowledge of legislation, and hypotheticals. Is anyone else here going for transfer? Is there any advice I can glean from anyone that has been through this gauntlet already? Nice to meet you, and very much hope to be part of the force in the near future. Charlie

Hi folks.... Well the family want to go home, wife’s family are from Newport so Im about to begin the process of Applying I’ve only ever been a response officer. I only know Newport and Telford but ideally wouldn’t want to work to far far from home. Looking for info on shift patterns,parade sites etc all replies genuinely appreciated or a PM Thanks guys/Gals

Have just put in to transfer to West Mercia from West Yorkshire as it’s time I came home! Wondering if anyone can confirm current response officer shift pattern? Found a FOI response from last September saying 6 on 4 off but then a BBC article from this month stating that shift patterns have been shaken up to allow more officers on the street. Is it still 6 on 4 off just with amended start/finish times?

Hi Anybody on the June 2017 intake? I'm currently redoing vetting and references with a view to start on June 5th.

Anyone heard about an upcoming start date with West Mercia?

Hello everybody. I've been a reader of this forum for the last couple of months and decided it was about time to register. I sent off my application form on the 14th January so I could be expecting to hear back any time soon. I did ring West Mercia Police and they told me I should hear back within 4-6 weeks but I'm really anxious and hope that I have been invited to the assessment centre. I'll be gutted if I haven't made it through the paper sift because I spent a long time handing writing my application. I went through rewriting about 20 pages of my application because it was near impossible to handwrite it without accidentally slipping up a letter with my pen! I li…

Hi Thanks for your reply's in advance ! Im starting on the next specials training course on the 22nd of April at Hindlip, very excited ! Just wondering what to expect ? What normally happens on the first day ? From speaking to a friend of mine, he seemed to think we get our uniforms, is this correct, if so what should I expect to receive? Thanks for your time !
