Hi all Just to let you all know Norfolk have today opened Recuitment for PCSO'S and PC's who would like to transfer from another force. Regards

Hi everyone I'm new to this forum, Currently at the assessment centre stage of the recruitment process, but was wondering if anyone out there could point me in the right direction of what the current police issues are within the Lothian and borders. I know the formation into the single service will be up there but I can't seem to find any others on the website.

Hello everyone !!! I'm on my last year of college on National Diploma in IT, and looking forward to finish with the Distinction. However I don't fill like IT is something I like to do for the rest of my life. Since I was little boy I always want to become the policeman. I fell like this is what I want to do since I really like to help people and make the street safe. My question is what should I do in order to become the Police Officer? Should I go to University if yes what course should I chose and can you give me some examples of University around the UK? Or should I go and join the Police right now? However I hear a lot about that there is no places in Police and tha…

Hey guys and girls. I am currently a staff nurse but have always wanted to be a police officer. I have had enough of my current career now and want to seriously look into joining the police force. I understand recruitment isnt as lively as it once was due to financial difficulties and by looking on Mereyside Police's website over the past few months i can tell it seems a very difficult career to get into. Just wondering if anyone could offer me advice on job hunting. I live in the Merseyside area and this would be ideal for me but i would have no problems looking elsewhere within a decent distance as i drive. Could anyone suggest different forces to maybe look at or m…

Did anyone go to the Northants open evening on Weds 18th Oct?

Hi All Just wondered if anyone on here is starting with Norfolk on the 12th? Been nearly 3 years since I applied but got there in the end. Anyone else getting slightly nervous now?? Any tips on what I'll need to take on the first day would be welcome. I know I'll need plenty of pens, paper etc! Thanks

Hi, just looking for a wee bit of advice. My hair is quite short, just above shoulder length. When I tie it back in a ponytail, I only have about 1 inch of hair in the ponytail, not enough to turn it into a bun. I start in 3 weeks so not much hope of my hair growing that much longer before then. Just looking for some advice. Are you allowed to wear your hair down if it is short? Sorry for the stupid question, don't know who else to ask!! Yvonne.

Hi all, Ive applied sep 20th this year which was just before the recruitment deadline. just posting this to see if anyone else is in the same boat/ possibly in same recruitment pool?

I've recently been rejected after applying for the regulars. Sat the SET but was later rejected over some fairly minor driving offences. I was advised to drive carefully for a year and encouraged to apply again in 12 months when I'm eligible again. So I'm wondering, does the 12 month waiting period bar me from applying for the role of special constable too?

I have searched and searched but I can't seem to find any obvious answers to this. Does anyone know roughly what the take home pay is monthly on a starting salary of £23,259? Any ideas welcome!

I'm struggling to answer these questions to become a Special Constable. "Tell us why you want to be a police constable" I've mentioned I'd enjoy the mental and physical challenges that would come with it, mentioning that i'm hoping this could lead to a full time career as a Police Constable in the future. "Tell us why you've applied for your chosen force" My chosen force would be Gwent police I assume, since its my local police... I don't quite understand this question. Can someone also help give me an understanding of what tasks i'll be expected to take as a special. "what sort of effect do you think becoming a special will have on your domestic and social life" a…
