    Here goes.. I applied to Cheshire constabulary late last year and passed the A/C in January. I am now awaiting the final in-force interview. However, I recieved a letter last week informing me that due to budget cuts, student intakes for this year have been cancelled and therefore everyone in the recruitment process will be affected. It says the interview will be no time soon and regarding the 12 months validity of my assessment pass will be extended for a further 12 months if needed. Heres the question: I live in liverpool and I'm considering transferring my app to Merseyside, how would I go about doing this and do you guys think I should? Thanks, Alex.

    The next stage is to start your foundation training. Until fairly recently, this consisted of a short stint at your force headquarters followed by up to 15 weeks at a residential training college known as a Police Training Centre (PTC). However, this is all changing now and it is very likely that you will be trained under a new scheme known as the Initial Police Learning & Development Programme, or IPLDP for short. The IPLDP was developed by the Home Office, with the help of the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO), Centrex and other key stakeholders. The principles of the IPLDP, which have been agreed nationally, are that the main responsibility for the tra…

    We have been told we can 'Report' someone for any offence. But away from motoring, if I was to report someone, then I would not be able to interview them. For example, shoplifting; if I decided it did not warrant arrest & the store did not want RJ (we have this) then I could report could I ? However what about the interview ? The other option would be a PND ticket but I would then have to take DNA, complete a huge form for PNC etc etc When do people use the 'Report' option & PND ticket option on street & how often & for what away from motoring ?
