New Member Introductions

Hi everyone Just a quick message to introduce myself. I'm a Student Officer serving in Suffolk and have been in the job for 13 months and I am really enjoying it. I usually live back in Lincolnshire but stay down in Suffolk when I'm on shift. Does anybody know anything about how easy it is to transfer after completing your probationary period and getting confirmed as I've been told that forces are not so keen on transferees now as training is all done within the local area it costs less than training a transferee on their policies etc? Cheers Dan

Hello from a long time lurker. Just being nosy really, can't give much assistance on anything aside from legal stuff. See you around...

Hi, thought i'd say hi to everyone as i have just signed up. I am due to have my final interview for Lothian and Borders police soon so any info to help me would be much appreciated as i am a little nervous!! claire.

Hello all. despite posting once or twice already I thought I'd best introduce myself. I'm in the recruitment process for Dorset at the the moment and I've passed my paper sift and assessment centre. I've got medical and fitness in May and providing that's successful I've been given a start date of the 18th of August. ....so...very...close... so with a bit of luck I'll soon be asking some searching questions on how to survive in the topsy turvey world of modern policing. Cheers! -Dan

Hi, My names Mark and I'm 19, I've been skulking around the forums for a few month now, originally came and found some invaluable advice for my assessment center. Obviously something that was written there (probably all of it ) was good because I'm going for my medical with Northumbria Constabulary on the 18th of July. So yeah, thought I should just say hi to you all since you seem a great bunch! Mark.

Hi all, I am Rosie, I am 28, live in Scotland, and have just recently applied to a Scottish Force. My initial application has been accepted and I have my familiarisation evening later on in the month. I am also doing major research that will help me in anyway pass each step of the recruitment process. I hope to speak to all in forthcoming posts maybe!

Hey folks. Im Aimee, from the scottish borders. Im currently 17, and hoping to join the Police force when i hit 18 :) and working my way up to CID in due time. I joined to meet others who could give me advice and for some people to chat with who are interested in the same things.

Hello everyone, I've just sent my application to join the met. Can anyone help me with the time scales and what to expect next because at the moment i'm left in the dark. many thanks

Hi Everyone, Just wanted to know if anyone else has their Initial Fitness test on the 16th June for Strathclyde. Wanted to know how you are feeling about it and how the training is coming along. Claire

I am intrested in becoming a police officer, i have but two major problems, i hate confruntation, and i drool alot, what are my chances of getting in? I noticed by reading these forums, there are alot of wise Officers on here, and a person from HATO, he does not appear as wise bless him :whistle2: The Kenworthy gentleman does appear to have a good head on his shoulders. Soglet, EchoCharlie, A-Z LO, well bless them too. BTW isn`t IAN_C good at his work, i marvel at some of it.

Evening All, I'm Patrick and 22 from sunny and great Essex* and about to embark on 33 weeks of initial training for Essex Police starting on Monday. I have 3.5yrs of experience with Essex so I'm not new to Policing at all but am new to this forum. * - I'm still searching for the sun and what's great about Essex but I'm sure I'll find it one day hence my preemptive comment!! :whistle2:
