Hi, My partner is a police officer currently working for South Wales Police. We both live in the Notts area and he just stays in Wales on his work days. He has applied for a transfer to Nottinghamshire Police and has got an interview coming up. I was just wondering if anyone could offer us any advice regarding the interview? It's really important to us that he gets the transfer as we have two children and we're currently spending more time apart as a family than we are together so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Lou

I thought I'd start a new post to see what everyone is doing (if anything) to be prepared for when they eventually start training. So far, my preparation has been to shout 'nee nor' at the top of my voice whenever I drive my mum's car. I can't help but feel I'm wasting my time but have few ideas on what else I could be doing. Anyone know of any books that would be good to digest while we wait? Or have any other awesome ideas?

Hi I was wondering if there are any general or specific skills or qualifications which you think would help in improving your chances at recruitment e.g. degree, languages, courses. Also, do you think most skills are transferable or do certain forces rate differently? Many thanks for your time.
