I've put together this diary to help all those thinking of joining, hopefully it should help!(This has already been posted in the main forum but I thought since I'm a WYP officer it may help some of you new recruits) My life as a special started when I was at university, at the time I was studying Public Services. A friend who is now also a special was applying and kept telling me to apply as he thought I'd be good for the job. So without giving it any thought I applied, once I'd hit send that was it, I felt a stone sink to my stomach. Around two months later I received an email from a police email address, at first I wondered what I'd done but it turned out to be a rec…

got my pass today however not in the UK at the moment so haven't managed to see the letter that tells me everything. What am I to expect now and how long will it take till my first seminar?

Hello Forum First of all I discovered this after some research and would like to say HI to all Forum Users! I recently applied for Special Constable for West Yorkshire division, and received a letter 4 Weeks ago confirming I have passed and will be "contacted shortly" to invite me for Interview & Assessment. Is anybody else awaiting this? Anybody know the current time-scales currently? Can't wait to hear from everyone Best Regards, Mr Special

I have heard that your force has a Public Order Team, all trained in PSU level 2? Could someone PM me as I have a couple of questions about how this works? Thanks.

I've just been doing my PSU Medics course and our force are changing the kit that PSU Medics carry. Are there any PSU Medics here that can PM me with details of the kit / kit list with what you carry or possibly pass me contact details for howley park. Cheers folks

Think everyone was hit with the bad weather recently, Assessment was booked for Friday but cancelled on the Thursday due to the severe weather, anybody else suffer from the weather regards to Assessments with WYP?
