I have also heard this in the army aswell. and there is an article on wikipedia to back it up regarding the army medical. Is what I have said true with the police medical? Any advice will help thanks

I have a question about the application form. I'm in the process of filling out rough copies and I'm having trouble on the part where you fill out family members DOB, full name, previous names and place of birth. Problem is there isn't enough room to put in my wifes full name, previous names, DOB and place without it looking really really scruffy and crammed. Is there any ideas to this or can I leave out previous surnames. Thanks guys.

I appealled to Occupational Health of West Midlands Police at the start of January as they failed my application to join the Specials regarding a shoulder operation I had. I had a shoulder operation in 2007 due to me dislocating my shoulder twice. The aim of the operation was to prevent the shoulder from dislocating again. The surgery was a complete success and I have had no problems since the operation. I now regularly visit the gym to maintain my strength. It is now 8th March and all I have received back is a letter on 13th Januray to say that they will get back to me once they have made decison. Do you think I have got a chance with this appeal and anybody have any ro…

Hi everyone, i am seriously concidering applying to join the Police [whenever another recruitment drive comes up for either of my chosen forces [GMP or Merpol] and i was wondering if the fact that i can speak a little Polish [and by the time i come to apply, will hopefully be fluent ish] will be an advantage for my application? My thinking is that i'd be quite useful to have a round if a translator is needed urgently! Or do they already have people on the team who can speak other languages or a way to access translators urgently when theyre out and about on the beat? Thanks :)

Hi there I have posted on another forum but had no responses as yet and a little anxious. Does anyone know if the financial checks for regular officers is the same as specials? I have made first application to become a special and just wanted to know what exactly they check financially? I have nothing in my credit file to indicate a problem that I can see, but wondered if they just check credit files or any other organisations records, for example HMRC for tax credits etc?? Myself and my husband were overpaid a small amount which the HMRC said they would take back from entitlement this year, due to the assumption system of calculating your eligibility ie, they assu…
