New Member Introductions

hi there. jus signed up to this forum. recently applied to tayside police (about 2 weeks ago) and have now got initial interview and (hopefully!!) the SET`s on 17th of march. i`m nervous but excited as never thought it would happen so quick! only really have a bit of bother getting back into shape. too much of a couch potato recently. so anyone want to share their experiences then feel free to reply. cheers.

Hello all. as the description said, im hoping none of you bite :). i have actually joined as through reading through some topics i thought this would be the best place to ask for some advice. Im hoping to join the police force in due time but wish to attend university first. i am in the process of making a late application and am writing my personal statement. i was hoping to add in there, some of the current issues in the police force, along with my reasons. could any of you give me some current issues that i could look into?? many thanks claire

hello all, i have just had a quick squizz at this site, i found it really helpful and met some great people when i was joining in 2003/2004, i am now fully fledged and studying for my OSPRE (idiot that i am!) so thought id reintroduce myself, happy to help anyone if i can but i am proof that it happens if you want it! emi

joe from glasgow, applying for strathclyde. sitting my SET's in a few weeks, fingers crossed.

Hi everyone, thought id say hi, this place seems like a good place for resource, and you all seem like a friendly bunch, I just started my application procedure for GMP, had a few meetings with the P.A.T. I will defiantly be coming on here if I have any questions.

Hey there! My names Shannon, I currently live in Bedfordshire and I am working as an auditor in London and Luton. I applied to TVP in april last year, and am currently waiting to do my fitness test (again - as I failed by 1kg last month). Im looking forward to join the police force, as its been a dream since I was a little kid. Thought I'd say hello to everyone, and I look forward to maybe speaking to a few of you in the future. xxx

Hi, I'm Matthew Fenn, generally known as just Matt. I am a Digital Forensics student at Teesside University and joined this forum as I want to learn some of the opinions of the police officers that I may end up working with in the future. A little about myself, I have been playing with computers since I was about 6 (much to my dad's dismay!) and therefore I suppose it is only natural that I should choose a computing path. I also enjoy listening to music, watching films and playing basketball. I sometimes enjoy watching football matches. I hope to learn a lot through this forum and it's nice to be here! Matt.

Hi thought I'd introduce myself even though I've already posted a topic. I'm Kate, 16 and currently at high school- I've come on here to get advice about my future and getting into the police. So if you have any good tips please let me know Thanks

Just thought I would say hello since I have already made my first post. I've just submitted an application for GMP , first time applying but been thinking about it for about the last 10 years. I've been lurking for a while, while doing my application and deciding whether to submit. Going to carry on lurking and occasionaly posting as there is some really good topics and advice on here. Kim
