Regulars

Spoke to one of the specials I helped train today, he was busy typing out his application for regulars. The window of opportunity is open.

The MET from today are recruiting again PCSOs. The Met are looking for 3000 applications. If you are interested then quickly apply. Who is going to apply? Also why are the MET recruiting PCSOs again? Did they not receive 3700 applications the last time they recruited? I can't believe they could not find 500 PCSO successful applicants. Now they want 3000 more applications. What is going on? Why are the MET not recruiting externally? For 2 PCSOs they could recruit 1 PC. The MET are looking for 3000 + applicant that could equate to 2000 + new PC applications. New Mayor who wants 1000 police officers. Well recruit externally for 1000 PCs not PCSOs. I believe that is commo…

Hi all Has anyone ever heard or have any experience of these types of test? I am told they are likely to become a standard part of the Police recruitment process across the country with at least one force already using them. Despite this, there is very limited information out there on what they actually are...! I believe they are carried out after the assessment centre stage and are completed online with the aim of providing an insight into a candidates 'temperament and values' and their 'approach to taking risks'. They are not the logical reasoning and numerical reasoning tests. Any general clues as to what kind of things are asked on these things? Thanks in advance

Hi all, My enquiry, I am interested in the transfer to Northamptonshire process and curious to know if anyone has done this recently and interested in what happens. I believe they are a very forward thinking force and would like to hear from any transferees and serving officers. Keep spirits up everyone, and weather the storm, it will all work out in the end. Keep safe and stay frosty my friends

Hi, I am just wondering what peoples views are on the NPIA going forever in November? What do you think the new Police entrance exams/ assessment will be? as the college of Policing is taking over the Police exams. Also heard all NPIA buildings are being sold! No more westshire!!

Hi, I applied for police constable with Grampian Police and I received an email yesterday to say I've been invited to the recruitment day on the 31st of August. I firstly have to sit the SET exams and if successful will do the fitness test straight after and if I'm again successful I will have my interview that afternoon. I've been practising the exams and my fitness levels are pretty good so my main worry is the interview so I was just wondering could anyone help me with this?? What kind of questions are asked and how long is the interview and do they mainly focus on the answers you would have given on your application form? Any tips that any one might have would be …

I am very interested in joining the police force after I have been to university however I am stuck as to what to study at university. I need a subject/topic that will be relevant and useful for my application. Any advice would be helpful!

Hi guys, this is my very first post as I have been doing some online surfing while studying for my initial interview which is coming up this coming Tuesday. I have read on the pages here that the interview questions and answers are never published up here (and rightly so, its an investigative job, you should find out as much as possible yourself) My question isnt really for a cheat or a pass in the interview: the officers and stations that I have visited have been really helpful and have gave me catagories of questions to study up on and I have...my question is that most of these questions fall into the catagories of the questions already asked in the application form.…

Hi Guys, just wanted some guidance. I think I've messed up.. I've called and emailed police force to ask my question but they've not got back to me yet with an answer. ISSUE - Competency questions the form gives .................... lines for you to write in your answer, on some of them I ran out of ........ so at the end I created an extra line to complete the section, this was done in each competency. I spent nearly a week on the application writing and rewriting the application until I couldn't shorten it down any further, so I sent it off as felt it was the best I could do and was happy with it. However, after re-reading the guidance notes this week, I noticed the f…
