Hi everyone, I've just started so go easy on me. So I've had my day1 and day2 for the met police and I'm at the vetting stage, but I have a few questions if someone could help me. I'm a met police second language scheme applicant. So I've sent in my vetting form in, but made a few mistakes about previous addresses and forgot to declare family involvement with police. I emailed them as soon as I realised I made the mistake. I know what you're thinking, how did I forget such information.

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum but found you all answered a lot of my questions when filling out my application form for the police. I have one question which I can't seem to find the answer to, if someone can help?

Hello Everyone, Just thought I would introduce myself very quickly, I am due to start my Special Constabulary training on the 18th June 2016 for Kent Police. I've been reading the police specials forums for some time now and have found some useful information, So I thought why not make an account as it may come in handy from time to time for me to post topics. Hope everyone's well and may speak to a few of you on the job in the future who knows. Regards
