Hi there I was just wondering if someone could help me with regards to the specials recruitment process. I was wondering, is the acessment centre for specials, is exactly the same as that for a regular police officer? The reason i ask is that ive just applied to be a special constable with NYP, and ive been trawling through my books 'How to pass the police selection system' and 'How to pass the police recruitment tests' aswell as ordering my How2Become dvd and reading through force related posts and in this section ( i applied back when i was 18 and failed so im trying to get as much info this time ) And the books refer to the core competency roleplays, however when i…

Hi Went for my medical in June and the medical results came up as high blood pressure. The nurse told me I should go to my GP to have it looked at so I did. It was high again when I seen him and he said to go and get one of those monitors from the pharmacy for about £20-30 and monitor my own blood pressure at home and my BP is perfectly fine at home yet as soon as I step in the nurses office or the doctors office is shows high again! Does anyone else have this stupid problem or is it just me? I'm 26 years old, go the gym, dont drink, dont smoke, eat healthy food, pretty much maxxed out on the things I can do right.

Hiya guys, after a few hours of internet trawling I've found this brilliant website! I'm 19, I live at home and go to university down the road. I've just completed my application form for Avon & Somerset Specials, just waiting to photocopy it and send it off. I've been reading up on the processes and looking at info on PIRT, interviews and medicals, all of which has been really helpful and somewhat reassuring! I eventually would like to join the Police Service but in the mean time I'd like to finish my degree so that's why I'm hoping to join the Specials, as I can get lots of experience and I can fully decide whether it's the full time career choice for me. I'm…

A friend who is applying to be a Special Constable was arrested for bicycle theft when he was 14 (some 18 years ago). He got a caution and his parents were told that there would be no record of it when he was 17 (which seems a bit of an odd age). Anyway, the question is should he declare this on the application? Would it show up on the security check? The form says if "an omission of any relevant information will disqualify you from joining". To make matters worse he was banned for Drink Driving nearly 14yrs ago (only just over receiving the minimum ban). He will obviously declare the DD but is unsure about the bike incident in his youth. By declaring this if unnecess…

Just wondering is there any differance or Is Student officer just another name for a Special Constable undergoing training stage?. Thanks guys

Hi, my interview is almost at hand. Im 99% sure that im going to be asked about dealing with past events relating to Diversity (And showing respect). Even though i have been involved in incidents relating to Diversity (Including dealing with racist abuse), I was wondering what exactly they were getting at? That i take action against forms of 'Anti-Diversity' behaviour? Or that i show respect for all Races? If its a mix of both, Would it be worth mentioning that my Mother is mixed race (I am white)? (And hence common sense would dictate that i am ''tolerent'' or whatever these new words for being normal is these days. (In the sense that being against other races is not …

I recently took part in a fitness and firearms test for the CNC (about a month ago and passed) ans was wondering if anyone else who did it has been contacted yet about a medical and vetting date. I called them yesterday and they said they were very busing sorting out october/novembers intake however I thought that I was meant to be on that intake. Anybody got any ideas whats going on and if they know when the next intake may be?
