Hello Just seeing if anyon else on here is starting on the 20th feb ? Anyone else looking forward to it ? Anyone nervous ? Lol

Hi everyone, I need some advice please, Im sure your heard all this before but thought I would ask anyway. Ok so obviously I really want to join the police, thats why im here but I got a caution for theft of a magazine when I was 16 (yes I know, biggest mistake of my life!!!!) now it was 11 years ago now. It was the first and last time I got in trouble with the police. Anyway my question is will I stand any chance of getting into the police?? im actually going to apply for the specials first. Thank you

This morning I read a newspaper article from 2009 about forces being considered to turn away applicants who cannot swim. This is worrying me as I cannot swim to a good standard. I'd consider myself a rubbish swimmer. So I'm asking the question: Is it important as a police officer/PCSO/Special, that you can swim?

Hi, does anyone know if the application forms for this year are the same as last (cnc/btp were recruiting). I need to be as prepared as possible, thanks for the help!

Now that the new year rumour mills are getting into full swing regarding this years potential recruitment initiatives, i thought i'd ask a question! Do external applicants still have something to offer the modern police force? With many forces now looking to recruit internally from serving PCSO's and Specials, or requiring pre-course completion, it can often be hard for people unable to fulfil these requirements from even getting near an application form. Should this matter? Should Forces still offer recruitment opportunities externally? Personally i think they should. I made and decision to commit my free time to my young family rather than spending numerous weekends …

where do North Wales police (potential officers) do their basic training and how long does it last??? How long till you get your results after completing the assessment centre, interview and fitness tests??

Hi Has anyone responded to lastest Port Of Liverpool Police Campaign, on this website, asking for people who have passed NPIA since May 2008. I responded on the web e-form, and to my suprise they sent me an application form, which I have completed and returned. Has anyone applied and heard back from them yet? Ta.

Hey guys & gals, :) Some advice for a newbie to these forums :) I am 22 years old currently a SC in West Midlands Police and been in for the past 2 years.. over that time i have consistently kept up around 70-100 hours a month service... not just because im extremely sad and love it... that's part of it maybe but because I eventually have aspirations of joining as a PC and i think the experience will hopefully help me to hit the ground running! I also have been pushed by my D.O to go for a promotion to section officer and i am trying to vary my duties with different parts of the force.. example being tomorrow im going on duty with FSI to see how they operate.. I th…

Hello, I have my medical on wednesday, and all going well I have been told I will be in the March intake. Anyone else starting then too?

Hi, I've used the search button but I'm still unsure about when to apply to join Lancashire police force. I currently reside in Birmingham and will be moving to Lancaster around late September for university. I would love to be a part time police officer - unlike many other students, clubbing really isn't my thing and I feel it would be nice to give something to the local community in my spare time. I've been revising on how to fill in the application form, however, I have not requested one as of yet. The reason being that if I get called in for an interview in the next few weeks, I would be unable to attend as I don't live locally. My question is, that if I fill out an a…

Does anyone else have an interview coming up with TVP this week? I was one of many that ended up with the recruitment freeze letter back in 2010 and now have my interview as the next step as prep goes in for 2012. Little bit nervous even witht he prep I have done.
