Hello all, I've been a member for a couple of months now and have yet to make a post, so here is the first of (hopefully) many. For as long as I can remember I've been fascinated by police officers, cars, operations, equipment and not to mention the ins and outs of the law. Over the past year or so I've given serious consideration to a career in the force. I'm a second year civil engineering student at university and am looking to apply after graduation in 2009. The forum has been a huge help with making this important decision, reading all the questions and comments have given me a good insight. I have also visited my local station where I had a long cha…

Hello to all...I'm a currently serving PCSO in Suffolk. I'm one of those that fell just shy at the regular assessment (cough cough 59.4%) and got the PCSO job off the back of that result. Suffolk have (FINALLY) started recruiting again and I've stuck another application form in and like many others around here I'm just playing the waiting game. So tis' nice to meet you all and speak soon! BoredBoB

It's one of my middle names and was also my father's and grandfather's name, hence the reason for the name. I'm on traffic (RPU) , 17 years in the job. Married 14 years with two girls 7 and 5 and a border terrier pup which we've had for one week!

Hello All, My name is Andy, I am 25 and currently work for the West Midlands Police as a PCSO. I have been trying to become a regular Police Officer since the age of 18. Yesterday I passed the Fitness Test for the West Midlands Police and now await a start date. It has taken me 7 years but I made it in the end. I am looking forward to my new career as a Police Officer, I feel that my 2 years as a PCSO has been a great experience for me and hope to progress my knowledge in my new role. I found this Forum by simply typing POLICE OFFICER into Google and must say that it is very good, interesting and useful for new officers like myself. I look forward to becoming an act…

I have just become aware that my younger sister has a yellow form for posession of an illegal substance, she was given a warning and the stuff was taken off her. i know the police do family checks so could i be reffused at the last hurdle because of this?? :smiley_strop1: :sad:

I was wondering if anyone knew the starting pay in the met inc london weighting. Also i have been told you get free travel for 70miles of London, im assuming this is trains but was wondering how it worked if you were to finish when there are no trains - e.g 00.00 - 5.00 in the morning. I will be working in North West London and was hoping someone would know the shift patterns and rough start and end times too?. Thanks for your help x
