Specials

Hi all, This is my first post so please be gentle. I've got my fitness test booked for December. I need some sort of guidance as to what I should be doing training wise. I live in a not very nice neighbourhood so going for jog isn't really an option. I'm looking for things I can do at home or the gym, at the moment I don't feel like I'm getting the most from my gym sessions. Any advice welcome Thank you in advance.

So I have been wanting to join the police for quite awhile and about 2 months ago did.. I applied for PCSO first waiting around 8 weeks.. No answer so I decided to apply to go to a Special Constable requirement event which is in a few days, Today I open my email and have an interview for becoming a PCSO.. I accepted this and booked an interview slot but Im also attending a specials event. Two questions, Can i still attend this Specials event which is before my interview and secondly Im looking to one day become a Constable (Real Police officer) which one of the two jobs would be best for this? Regards, Julius.

Just as the title says, are you more likely to be accepted when applying for the special role rather than a full time one? Or is it just as difficult?

So after getting refused for avon and somerset on vetting well over a year ago, and then getting rejected by bedfordshire police for an unknown reason even before vetting. I managed to apply for my record to which last week i sent an email to bedfordshire police vetting team stating what id received back and do they know why my application got rejected etc. Today i got an email back stating there may of been some misunderstanding and they apologise if there has been and they want me to fill out a vetting form to be checked through vetting. Now im not too sure whats happened. I cant work out if something went wrong and i wasnt supposed to be rejected, or if they have j…

Hi I am new to this site, bare with me. I am in the process of applying for Specials in Police Scotland. Is anyone else going through? I have passed fitness and Initial interview. Awaiting date for medical and vetting Sent from my iPhone using Police Community

Evening everyone , hope you are all well. I am currently in the vetting and medical stage and sent off forms nearly two months ago. I haven't heard anything even after emailing. Is it usual to take this long at this stage?

Hi everyone! I wanted to apply to be a Special, but I was always apprehensive about the possibility of transferring. The only reason I ask is because I'm at university, going into my third year which is in a different County. Is there any way I could join up as a special in my university county, and then transfer to my home county once I'm finished! Thank you all! - Liam S.

Just reading about all of those who have been lucky enough to make it to the final stages well done. My resit is wed 7th September for the information handling which i seemed to struggle with but think i have finally grasped it. My partner is a policeman and i think ive drove him demented the last 6 week's with these exams. TO guys who gave me advice and some research tools thank you it really helped.

Hi Everyone, I am new to this forum so apologies if I have messed up. I have a question about business interests as I am abit confused and worried at the moment. One of the interests that could specifically be a problem to me is to do with holding or being related to someone holding a liqueur licence. I do not have much knowledge around this and to what extent it is enforced. Now, I am currently in the process of applying to become a Special but my parents own a newsagents shop with an 'off-licence', we live in a flat above the shop. The shop however is not in the force area to which I am applying to and I am not named at all on the licence although I do work there oc…

I have passed all of my stages for GMP specials and I had my medical last week. All seems well with the medical. The next step is a offer then uniform fitting etc. I may be relocating and I was wondering if I could transfer my application to another force instead of staring all over at the begining. Do all forces follow the same application structure? Do they all follow college of policing training guidelines. Thanks, Brian.

hello all, has anyone recently gone through th TVP special constable recruitment? ive passed eligibility just waiting to arrange a interview now, safe to say I'm nervous as I don't know what to expect just looking to see who I could be possibly working alongside in the future :) James :)

Hi, I'm just wondering if you take out a personal loan, do you have to notify the vetting department? Or is it just debts that are unmanageable that they need to be aware of? Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
