Hi all, I'm new to the forum. Thought I would drop by and say hi (cheesy rhyme) Anyway I've been contemplating joining the force for the last 18 months. New Year came I thought I'm going to really try my all and go for it. I'm from the West Midlands and have been checking daily for when recruitment starts again and nothing. Though I did get an email to my accound about the MDP, I have been doing lots of research and the more I read the more it felt the career for me. So I'm currently working on my application in the first draft. I'm finding the questions abit challenging, not in the sence of answers, just how to answer them in the best way. I know from freinds and fam…

Hi all, My names Scott and Like everyone this is a job that i wanted to do since school all those years ago(14) but always made excuses. I decided after turning 30 last year this was it now or never so i enrolled at Cumbernauld college on their access to the police course(copper course) and have no intention of stopping now. I would advise all to do a course like this as it is a real eye opener.I have one week left then i intend to apply a couple of weeks after as i'm still working on the fitness,After starting at a mere 22 mins for a mile and half its now under the 13 but could still be better Looking forward to talking to you all and good luck to all that apply …

I'm Liam. I'm a first year Police Sciences student from Cardiff and a prospective recruit for South Wales Police preferably but really anywhere that will take me as close to home as possible! I look forward to speaking to you all soon.

Hello Everyone and a belated Happy New Year ! I am a Met officer, working in a Youth Offending Team in north London. My resolution for 2009 is to update my knowledge, as I have been away from street policing for 3 years now. I hope that this website will be useful and I look forward to making some new friends.

Just thought i'd best come in here and say hello to you all, this is my first post on here as i only found out about this site yesterday, i have been a member on a couple of the other police forums for the last couple of years.

Away from policing i'm in my second year as an apprentice joiner and i'm also in to watching football.

Hey, another new guy =). Joined because I'm seriously considering joining the police force but I'm not sure where to go with my A levels and which degree to get etc. I'm guessing that there are quite a few people on here that I would be glad to get help off.

Hello everyone! I am Nadia and I am new to this forum. I always wanted to be a Police Officer. I never had a chance because when I finished college in my country I found women where not allowed to do this or gain access to the Police force or Army. Both were strictly for men. But never is too late. I have applied here and I am waiting for the fitness tomorrow. Nadia
