West Mercia Police

Hi all I am due to start my training on the 16th April at hindlip. Just wondering if anyone else is starting then? I'm excited but nervous at the same time!

Good evening all. I checked my application status online this morning and it read the following.... "Your application has been successfully short listed and we will be in contact with you shortly for the next stage of the process" Does this mean I've made it onto the telephone interview stage? Had no email just yet. Sorry, I'm just so nervous and excited

Good afternoon all. It's my first post to the page and I have a few things concerning me in regards to the conviction section on the application. I made it past the initial 4 tests first time round and have been sent the application to fill out, which I'm hoping to complete today. As a full time HGV driver, unfortunately I had a few speeding fines come through, most of them I gained many years back (due to lack of experience) with a remainder of 3 points still left to clear in the next two years.

HI All, After my assessment centre i was unsuccessful this time round. I didn't manage to get through on the group test which i'm gutted about as i passed everything else. I received an email saying that someone will be in contact to talk about it and offer me guidance. IT also say's i have to wait 3 months before i can go back but i was just wondering do i actually have to wait 3 months or will i be able to do it before??

HI All, Well Friday was an experience. kicking off the day with a bleep test followed by written exams but the most exciting part was getting fitted for the uniform. Putting it all on makes it really exciting. Now though its a waiting game to find out hopefully by Friday i will know the outcome!!
