    I'm looking at buying either the PT03 Police Tactical Ankle boots or the MV04 Magnum Viper Ankle Boot. Can anyone give me any feedback/reviews on either of these? Thanks.

    Dear Karen Thank you for returning your application for appointment of Special Constable in this Force, I can confirm that i have recieved it. In the next few weeks you will be contacted by the Special Contabulary to see if you wish to attend a pre-assesment evening. This is so that you have the chance for an informal chat about the role of the Special Constable. Also to answer any questions you may have. Yours Sincerely Oh my god! Is so excited but very nervous now!

    Hi all. I am very interested in joing the police but i feel i dont have that much confidence yet. so i have decided to apply for a special (merseyside area) I DO have a criminal record for DECEPTION which dates back to 1998. this was an area of my life which i deeply regret ( young and stupid, got in with wrong crowd etc etc) I received a 12 month conditional discharge. I also have tattoos on my forearms (quite big too!) Do you think that ive got any chance of getting in?? thanks
