Hi, Does anyone know if there is any section housing still offered by GMP? Thanks

Hi guys. I'm currently in college (almost 17) and I was wondering if there is anything I can do that will help my chances of getting in when I eventually apply. I'm getting consistently high grades at school and I'm hoping to go on for a degree but are there any other aspects that recruiters look for when going through applications? Thanks,

Was wondering if anyone can help me with this query? I've passed everything but am on medical hold due to slight hearing loss in 1 ear discovered in medical (1st I'd realised & never affected me as far as I'm aware). Application's stalled whilst waiting for appointments on NHS wtih GP, nurse, consultant. etc. Spoke to recruiting today & they've told me Occ Health just waiting to see what consultant says before they can proceed one way or the other woth my application. According to Home Office Circular on medical standards my hearing's ok by their guidelines & even if it wasn't they suggest doing a 'field test' on me using radio/phone/whatever. Query is (bein…

Hi guys, Can't believe we've been in the job for a week! How's Phase 1, Wk1 gone for everyone?? I thought it's been pretty well paced!

Just got back my results from Day 1 Assessment and I am devastated to find out I failed on the written communication aspect of the assessment. <?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> I somehow managed to achieve 0% on the written communication part. I got a D grade on the Verbal logical reasoning part which I felt was my strongest part. Does anyone know what level of scoring I would have got to achieve such a low grade? In the practice questions I was quite easily obtaining 70%. Also I does anyone know how they assess the written communication aspect of the report writing? I achieved D in both of …

Hey guys, I'm shortsighted to a degree (just) where I cannot enter any force in the police, so the only option I have is laser eye surgery. Are there any serving or ex-coppers (or anyone really) that has had experience with laser eye surgery, known anyone who has had it, has any reccomendations, or just anything to say on the matter really. Also, if, say, the surgery was completely successful, would I be allowed to undergo firearms training or would I be restricted? Many thanks, Dan

I've just sent off my Police Officer application form for Cheshire and wondering a few things: *How long is it usually until I hear anything back? *How long is the gap from the application form to the assessment centre? *Is there anyway I can begin preparing for the next stage of the recruitment process, and if so how? If these have been answered before just point me in the right direction Thanks :smiley_notworthy:

Is anyone here booked in for this date? I am and I would be interested to know how you are preparing for the A/C. I have a couple of books and thankfully know a couple of people that have just started in TVP and the MET, so I have been given alot of advise. What I hear alot is, 'It is not as bad as you think it is going to be', which does not calm my nerves in the slightest. It would be good to know I am not alone :)

Has anyone out there applied for Kent Police in their recent recruitment campaign? I applied and found out in January that I passed the paper sifting stage but that I would have to wait to hear about briefing and assessment centre dates due to the high number of applicants and am still waiting. I've heard through friends that some people they know have been given dates. Has anyone else heard anything yet or are they also still playing the waiting game?

I was meant to be on the 7th Sept intake for the MET. I had a skiing accident in January 2009 and needed a cortisone injection to kill the pain.Unfortunately the injection has now worn off and I had to go and see the consultant again today. He has recommended that I have an operation and should get the operation by the end of the year. Best case scenario is that I will be off for 6 weks. Worse case is 6 onths. It all depends what he finds.Am I being realistic in me getting in the MET? My time line is on my signature. JOHN

Hello all. I'm knew to the forum and was wondering if anyone could answer a couple of questions on the application form. 1) Are you limited to the 2 continuation sheets? I have a large address and employment history, which isn't leaving much space for the Special Skills section. 2) Which leads me to my next point. Is it best to bullet-point this section with a summary of your skills and where you got them, or write in sentences / paragraphs? Thanks for any and all help.

I am based in Scotland and recently passed my assesment day and fitness test and was put forward for a final panel interview. From the feedback i passed all the elements fairly comfortably. However, i have just had a call from occupational health saying that they won't be progressing my application due to the depression i have suffered over the past 4years. Since 2005 i have been prescribed a low dosage of anti-depressant, never had any low moods and have never been off work due to my illness. For an organisation that embraces diversity at all levels i believe i am being discriminated against. I believe everybody should be assessed individually and everybody should be giv…

hi there folks, could anyone please give any tips or helpful advice for the final selection panel interview for D&G police. Am looking up info all about force but don't want to be caught out on anything!!! any advice would be greatly welcomed. thanks

Hi Guys, I was just wondering if anyone who passed fitness test/medical etc in April had heard on start dates for Devon and Cornwall yet? Cheers Dan
