Hello, Hi, Hey Whats cooking?

Hello, found this site while bimbling around the internet. Retired now and was in the Met. Served lots of places including Mounted Branch (3 years), CO19 (lots of years) and Royalty Prot. (2 years). Most of those years were in the 'Gene Hunt style of policing' days. Happy days, mostly. To those still serving, stay safe and keep paying my pension.

Hello After months of reading this site throughout my application process to GMP (which I join on the 4th August) I got sorted and joined. This site is incredibly useful and all the post's have helped me hugely. Many thanks

I had my med at GMP 2 wks ago and have been told they're still waiting for checks to be returned, anyone got any idea how long it takes? :ph34r:

Evening all, been reading the posts for the last few weeks, and decided its about time I posted! Just completed week 8 of the IPLDP course, and this week has been the best by far. Studying law is great, but this week has been the basic driving course - which was fantastic, and the Stinger trainig - so although im not actually on the streets yet, I have my Stinger authority. Like everyone onmy course, studying is essential, but were all eager to get out there and start to make a difference

hi everyone i'm new here so here goes.... i'm a student officer coming to the end of my initial training i will be going out to my division shortly on my tutor phase. really looking forward to it but also really nervous.....however this is what the last six months have been building up to i didn't join to sit in a room looking at power point presentations!! somuch to learn i feel like every time i learn something new then i feel like ive forgotten some of the previous stuff. anyway i'm thinking it will make more sense when i get out and about. i'm thinking that the real people i will be working with out there may just be a tad more challenging than the roleplay (and …

Hi folks. My name is Stuart and i'm from Dumfries. I'm sitting my SET in a few weeks time and i'm all prepared but i'm a bit anxious too. I should pass the test no problem but i am dreading the presentation and roleplay excercises at the next stage. Any tips would be useful.

Hi everybody... I've been around the forum for a while and decided to register... Really very interesting stuff, especially "scenario"... no need to say we live on different planets. I'm From Italy, a few kilometers from Milan, male, 36 years old. Feel free to correct my english. See you

Hi all, I'm a long time retired DC (14 years) from MPSB....known to some as SO12 and recently consigned to the shredder by that total XXXX Ian Blair. Looking forward to chatting to one and all.

Good Morning/Evening Ladies & Gents! Well i've been on this forum now for about a week and a bit now, posted three items 1. Bleep Test 2. The Story So Far..... 3. Suffolk Constabulary 2008 But there is one thing which i've missed out, it is introducing myself here on the 'Introduction Page' So 'Ello' my name is Dale from Colchester and i've applied for Suffolk Constabulary. Also a BIG! thankyou for everybody's informative responses to all my posts it's been great help and has given me a much better insight into policing. Thankyou UKPOLICEONLINE.co.uk DC :smiley_notworthy:

Hi Just joined the site and have found it extremely informative and useful. Having been an accountant for 10yrs+ and fast approaching 40 I have decided for a complete career change and have just applied to join Leicester police. A long way to go for this overweight and unfit mother of 2, but after purchasing a treadmill I am losing the excess and getting fitter every day. My husband has been in the job for 13 years so I know what I am letting myself in for (I think)!! It is something I have wanted to do for a long time and now the kids are nearly all grown up, I thought if I don't do it now I never will! Would love to hear from anyone else who has changed their car…

I found this forum and am hoping it can answer some of my questions here and there. I am a Detective from the Breckenridge Police Department, in Colorado, US. I wanted to stop in here and say hello to everyone and look forward to chatting with many of you. Sincerely, DetMcCarthy

Hi guys, Just trying to see if anyone on these forums is joining Herts on 16th June. Would be good to find out so its not so nerve racking on the day!! Pete
