Hey everyone, sorry to be such a post hog but I'm really struggling with the completion of my application form. These two sections are the only things holding up my completion. Q2 "It is vitally important in Scotland’s diverse society, that Police Officers respect the lifestyle, culture or beliefs of others even if these differ significantly from the officer’s own experiences. Think of an example of an occasion when you have shown respect for the lifestyle,culture or beliefs of someone, even though they differed significantly from your own and you might even have disagreed with them." (i) Tell us how the situation arose and how you and the other person differed. (…

Hello I'm a few months in to my probationary period and I'm so stressed I can't sleep well - it's ridiculous As I'm really not one to get fazed by much, however, first mags court is due next week for an abh and I just don't know what to expect and this scares me. We didn't do much about it in training and although did a mock court set up, I don't think it can really prepare you for the real thing. I wrote a statement based on what a kiddy told me who witnessed the attack, I think this is the reason they want me to attend, I have no idea., I just got a court warning via email and nothing else! Advise welcome. RK

Hi,I'm wondering if anyone can help? I Went for my colour vision test at Cali Uni on Friday and it turns out I've got a moderate red-green colour defect. Is there anyone who has been given the same diagnosis as me and been accepted/rejected by Strathclyde or do you know anyone recently who has been accepted/rejected due to this. Please can you let me know? Thanks, Dave

Hi Guys, I applied for a Police Staff role and am pleased to say i got offered the job! I was just wondering about how Hertfordshire Constabulary obtain a reference from my current job ? I know they have asked for a reference from my college tutor (who happens to be an ex-Police Officer from West Midlands Police), but wasn't sure whether HR would contact the store manager at my current job, or if they need a Head office contact ? Thanks alot, Tom.

Has anyone been on one of their courses? Just wondered if you think its worth it? Cheers

Morning folks! I've just checked the Derbyshire police website and found that they will be recruiting for PCSO's from midday Friday 8th of June. That's good news for anyone interested in Derbyshire or for anyone who didn't get a form for the PC recruitment.

I was reading a post on another forum when I noticed they mentioned something about that from April 2013 you will need 3 A-levels to join the police, they mentioned it was out if the Winsor report. I then did a google search and found this on a news article I'm in year 10 and want to join the Police in the future, I'm thinking of doing A-Levels after year 11 but I am not sure If I will pass Maths and be allowed in. I have never though of this as a problem because A Levels were never a requirement for the police, but after finding this it worried me. So is this just a suggestion or is it going ahead?

Anyone in the know in Notts with regards to any possibility of them opening up for transfers in the nearish future??

Hello I am just putting together an application form and have a quick question. Does anyone know what happens when one of your previous employers no longer exists? As I am being asked for my 10 year history and I know that one company has ceased to exist and another pub I used to work at has changed hands. Does this make a difference when some of my references dont get completed?

Does anyone have any idea when Merseyside will start accepting transfers again?

Heya, new to the forum and just wondering if anyone can help me. Does anyone know if a break in employment, during which you were a carer for a family member, would reflect negatively on you? This is assuming you'd been in employment for a decent amount of time before applying (and therefore showing you can hold down a job), but the time as a carer was still within the last five years, and for several years right after leaving college. Thanks in advance.
