Hi all, Just wondered if someone could give a brief outline of how the met day 2 is carried out and what the best thing to wear etc is. THanks Chris

Just wondering if anyone could give me a bit of advice with a problem I've got regarding part of my medical please. Was progressing rapidly thru process & completed everything except employer's reference when HR contacted me & said there was a delay due to Occ Health waiting for a 'letter from my GP'. Upon further investigation it turns out it was related to hearing test in medical. As far as I'm concerned my hearing is fine but medical showed up a slight loss of hearing in 1 ear. Doc at medical told me I was still within Home Office recommended limits & not to worry, but have it checked out by GP for my own peace of mind. He gave me a letter to give to my GP…

Dear all, I have an assessment/interview day coming up soon and wondered if anyone would be so kind as to offer any advice in respect of how the day will run and any words of wisdom for the day. I am told that I will have to spend 40 mins doing prep for a 10 minute presentation. Will this be similar to the application essay based on a town where incidents occurred and they had to be ranked in importance for the officers to attend to? Furthermore, on the day will the presentation be in a group or is it individually with the interviewer? Any general advice for this presentation - my uncle who is in the MET suggested drawing a plan of the town and creating reasons for crime…

Hi guys and girls, Am due my day one results end of this week/next week and we were instructed on our day one's to book a doctors appointment between those times to get our medical forms signed etc etc... That was fine. So I went into the surgery today with the form to show the receptionist so she could book me in for a couple of weeks. And she took one look at it and not only told me it would cost £79 (what?!), but it would take 3-4 weeks to 'come back to me', as I wouldnt need an appointment. She said I could leave it at reception and she would 'pass it on' to the correct person but the correct person is 'sooo busy' lately it would take up to 4 weeks…

Hi all Sorry if this is ground well trodden, but I've done some searches and can't find the right info. Basically, although this is my first post I've been reading these forums a while now, and everyone keeps on talking about their recruitment officers... I've got my Day 2 on 16th Sept, and I was wondering who these ROs were! Seems a lot of people are asking them for advice, but I don't have one... Am I being stupid? Looking forward to Day 2!

just preparing for interview questions. dont really understand what this question means. Anyone able to give me some pointers? • "What are the issues surrounding diversity of culture in the local community?" • "What is social awareness in your area (example of local issues)?" Thanks

Hi Guys I'm keen on joining the Metropolitan police in the near future, and wanted some advice, but not the usual advice written on the recruitment website. I won't be applying for at least two months and then I've been told the recruitment process can take up to 6 months. I was wondering what sort of everyday jobs the Met look on favourably, things that come to mind are community jobs, that show you're interested in helping communities (perhaps some charity work on the side?). At the moment I'm not working (for less than a month) so would like to make the first step count. Also, I'm looking at doing a first aid course, an SIA licence course and maybe even an English…

Do all forces have Board Interviews? I've applied to BTP and have seen a Board Interview mentioned any where (unless I'm just not paying attention!). Any information would be great. Shaun

Hi there applying to join Tayside and was wondering if any one had the PolicePracticePapers by M.T Cumming for sale? Happy to pay full price.

Hi Currently in Royal Navy and considering apply for gmp/lancs police when recruiting opens Does anyone know if i have to submit my notice before i apply. It does seem that it takes around 18months from applying to starting judging by looking around the forum. I know have to submit 12months however generally and especially when recruitment is so high in navy leaving in 1-4months generally is allowed aslong as you are going into another job. Anyone know if my application will even be considered if i dont submit my notice. Cheers

Hi I originally applied to gloucestershire police back in April 08, had AC Oct 08, budget cuts Nov 08, opportunity to move to BTP Bristol in April, accepted, had medical test June 09, provisionally given Dec start date 09. Now everything has gone silent! Ive tried calling recruitment but the whole department has changed people and location, and i can't seem to get any update/info. The problem i have is my present boss is not aware of my application and he wants me to start a 6 mth training course in jan 10. I really don't want to mess him around or waste his money. Has anyone else applied to BTP Bristol or have any further information? Thanks Rose
