Regulars

Hi all. I am currently a serving Police Officer, I am thinking about transferring to the Met. I don't live to far from Met areas. So travelling is not a problem. I would like to hear from serving Met officers who can tell me a bit about life in the Met. I am looking to progress my career, which is limited in my current force. So I would like to know how officers are treated, and what the prospects are like if you want to progress your career. If you want to add anything else feel free.

Anyone currently awaiting a medical date for Leicester regular recruitment?

Hi, I'm looming to transfer to an English force when a suitable one becomes available. Most say they will recruit from any HO force and from my research so far all include Scotland in this. Whilst Cumbria are not current recruiting transferees they offer an email to register interest and I received a reply saying they don't accept Scottish officers. Is this common , does any have any experience of this, do others not recruit Scottish officers. Many thanks. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Hi all!!. I am currently going through the recruitment for the Met. I am just worried about this so called credit check they do on you. How tight is it? Does anybody know? I dont have any CCJ's etc.... Please somebody help.... Thanks in advance!

Dilema.... Dilema. So you get offered two jobs. 1.) Full time PC 2.) Immigration Enforcement Officer role (ICE) Now what do you think you would do? Is one role better than the other? I am trying to weigh up the pros and cons of each role as they are both roles that I would do/want/be very happy taking. The pay is different on entry for both. Immigration would be more perhaps by about 7K a year. I am not choosing based on the wages alone thou. I am looking at the future possibilities each role might give me, where could each role take me, doors they could open. Job security. I obviously I know a bit about each role but its been playing on my mind a lot. I know many o…

Immigration Enforcement Officer (ICE) I am not sure where to post this as it seems that there is no forum or area specific to border force? I received an email today that I have been recommended for appointment for the above role. All that is left is some pre employment checks. Does anyone know what these include. I am worried I have a CCJ for a small amount of money, will this prevent me from passing security vetting? or should I call them to discuss it? I have a court date in Jan 2014 to set it aside but am worrying this will prevent them employing me. Any help most appreciated.

I'm currently working my way through all the pre-enrollment NCALT packages and can't quite get my head around Exemptions & Disclosures. I understand both requests for information (s29(3) DPA and s115 CDA) BUT I can't get my head around when you would use one over another? Answers on a postage stamp appreciated. Regards.

Hello, im new to this site but thought id make use of it and see if anyone has a final interview with Lincolnshire Police next month? C

So I emailed my application to police Scotland yesterday the emailed appeared to not work so today I typed out another application and emailed it again from my other email address because I thought it might have just been hotmail that was down, on my second application my fathers place of birth is different because I had found out today that it was Glasgow and not irvine so I changed it because I thought my first application had not worked also the dates that I moved into previous houses differ slightly because they are just estimates because my mum or dad have no clue of specific dates just the months, have I made a major muck up with sending to applications with differ…

Hi I am waiting on a start date for police Scotland having passed all stages and have received an email asking for employment references. One of which has to be my current employer and the other is my previous employer. I have been with my current employer for nearly 11 years, doing various roles. As I have been there so long I no longer know anyone at my previous job as all the staff I worked with have came and went over the years. Has anyone else had this situation and if so how did you get around it?

Hi all I've got a few questions, if anyone could help me that would be great. 1. When you attend Tulliallan, are you paid from day one? 2. Whilst there, do you have to pay for food and board? 3. How are the facilities (rooms, gym, teaching rooms) And also related but slightly off topic, is the Scottish Police Pension any good? Cheers all - appreciated as always.
