Regulars

Hi I am looking to submit an application to Fife Constabulary and have a slight concern about the vetting process. My girlfriend's sister, who we have absolutely no contact with and havent had for a number of years now, has a criminal record. As far as I am aware, her record involves benefit fraud but I dont know what else. I know its a difficult one to answer, but in peoples opinions, do you think this will have an impact on my application? Maqny Thanks

I'm thinking of transfering to Herts and had a look at the website where it describes travel concessions on First Capital Connect trains between Bedford/Luton and London. This would be quite useful to me and wondered if any Herts officers can give me some more details. Is it a free concession on this line, a discount, membership card or another form of concession? Any advice much appreciated

Just a question for anyone who has gone through the medical with dyfed-powys, was wondering how the day goes and what is involved, any advise would be appreciated :)

How do you approach the Police as an interpreter or to become one?

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and thought I'd start up a post for those of you, like me, whose Police Constable application has been frozen 'until further notice' so we can update each other if we get any news on any possible progress. I applied to Merseyside Police in 2009 and after full completion got a start date for June 2010 until boom!- the budget slightly messed things up for me, and Im sure many of you are in the same boat and feeling just as frustrated and uncertain as to what the future holds. Anyways, If anyone has any info on what the next year may or may not bring or to just vent out ur feelings too, then please do so.... Good luck to everyone in the s…

I have passed everything (MSC) but waiting for vetting whilst the rest of the co-candidates have also passed vetting, I have called the vetting team today they said they are waiting for one more thing without detailing what is was exactly,it is to take another two weeks for result, despite being heard the words "two weeks "every time I phone them, I have checked my credit file today which indicates that they did a search (association of chiefs) three weeks ago so would suggest that they are not clearly waiting for my financial history can't think what else it could be. I have left the military few months ago with exemplary service record and having SC clearance with the…

Im just wondering if it might become a problem for me the fact that i have no family members in the uk? The form does not ask me to name them but i wonder if this will be an issue? I came here alone (from south america) and never any of my relatives lived here. I have now a british citizenship in case someone will ask. Thax :-)

Hi guys! I have an interview coming up for a Met Volunteer, I was wondering what to wear, Would a suit be too much? What do you think? Is the volunteer process difficult to get through and does a volunteer (office) have to wear some form of uniform? Just general questions, Thank you. Oz :wink:

just a quick question. can you still join the police after being medically discharged from the army due to hearing problems.

Hey, Just wanted to know if having a degree will guarantee you to be accepted when you mention it in the application process for the regulars? Or if studying a degree whilst applying to the Specials guarantee you an interview? i.e Say if there's 3,000 going for 250 special constable places and about 150 are studying degrees/have decent experience, could that guarantee a place for an interview? Just a brief question, thanks.

I have just recieved a letter stating that i have failed my vetting process without stating any reason. i have no previous convictions or cautions, as well as no family memebers i am aware have. i have been out of contact with my parents for the last 2 -3 yrs as they live abroad and due to disputes not knowing where they are exactly apart from the country. i feel at moment like this letter has really put back my whole career and ambitions of joining the force. could someone please advise on how exactly to start the appeal, how can i appeal of i dont have the slightest of ideas of why it is i have been declined. any help would be appreciated as i do plan to appeal but just…

Evening all! Just thought I would set up another thread for people who have passed AC and had medical. Well done and good luck! The wait starts again!!. What areas/stations have you applied for?. I've applied for NE at Leeds and Doncaster.

Hi Everybody, just wondering if anybody is in the same boat as me and waiting on start dates for the College? I'm becoming increasingly worried that the go ahead of the reform will result in a recruitment freeze or certainly a delay! (Paranoid i know!). Any opinions/knowledge on the subject will be greatly appreciated! Thanks Jess.
