Specials

they are having an information evening on Oct 14th (I dont have a letter yet as they are back logged, but anyone got any idea on time so I would be able to book time out of the nursery if I need to?) Hopefully they will show us the fitness test! Anyone know what the machines are called where we need to push 35kg? I cant find it! If you are part of Dorset, would be nice to talk to you, see how you like it etc. Im on msn, or e-mail at mastersmithson@hotmail.com

Just a quick question... Can you choose where you patrol? As you don't get paid it would make sense choosing somewhere close to your home town. I know where i would like to be based but do you get to choose? Thanks

Is the training done on evenings? weekends?

So i recently applied to be a regular officer with Strathclyde, i passed the set and the fitness, i then went for my initial interview and about a week later, i got the letter through the post saying ''I regret to inform you that after giving the matter careful consideration i am unable to offer you an appointment'' Now i understand that i must wait a year before applying to become a regular again, but could i apply to become a special right now? Thanks Thomas

I'm thinking of applying to the Specials , partly to test the water before I apply to the regulars. Are there any Strathclyde Specials on here , if so what is the training like and what sort of duties have you been given since joining? Cheers

I am new to this forum so would first of all like to say hello I have aimed to join the Police force since i was 15, now being 20 i have completed a B-Tec in Uniformed Public Services and i am now in my second year of a Criminology Degree. I have just applied for the Specials and passed the paper sift stage and have my numerical skills and English written skills tests tommorow at Hutton head quarters. My plan is to maybe spend a year or two doing this job, mainly to get experience of what exactly the Police force does in its day to day work and to also see if the role is generally for me. There is nothing else in life i have really aspired to be and the Police force has…

What i would like to know, is what to expect in this interview and how should i conduct myself to get the best possible outcome?
