Can you change a reference after applying? I originally put down a friend who has now become a girlfriend but I dont live with her, should I call up recruitment and give them another person to take her place? I have currently passed paper shift,ac,fitness test and have a medical in december. Cheers for any help

Hi, I applied in January for West Mercia police, and got 53% which is not enough to get into that force, but want to transfer my results over to West Midlands police. I did this at the end of last week after attending West Midlands Recruitment Evening. I wondered if anyone else had done this, and how long the process takes until they start background checks, fitness tests etc. Any comments would be much appreciated Rachel

Hi all, I'm aware I have a bit to go. I'm a little over 6 foot, weighing in at about 15.5 stone. It's not muscle, I'll be the first one to say that (moobs) and am fully aware that I've got a while to go. Losing the weight is a task, but reasonably easy for me, I've done it before, but due to having no actual goal at the time I put most of it all back on again. Just the fitness will be a chore. I haven't done any fitness training in my life for any real length of time, other than school (I'm 25 now) but I'm constantly walking too and from work at least (7 miles in each day, so my heart is beating at least badoom badoom). I'm thinking of joining the Northern Constabulary …

Hey, Does anyone else have a start date of the 20th of July for Tulli? I got in last friday but was hoping I'd be away in June but I have heard that Tulli is really busy at the moment. Never mind, at least I have plenty of time to prepare!

Any ideas when it is?? I can reapply soon so just wondering when it is.

Hey all Did anyone attend the Ryton assessment day today? (17th June) I did and.and i have soooo blown it! I did awful in the interview, and worse in the role play! I think the fact that I wanted it so much, overcame me, and half way through each situation (role play AND intrview) i went blank! And as for the proposal? My word......i did awful! Gutted

Upon receiving my training start date letter and associated information, I've noticed that there is another vetting form to be completed... Does this mean that we are to be vetted yet again? Any comments would be appreciated! Cheers, Tom

Can anybody help me with this, please? One section asks for details of any youth or other organisations I am/was a part of. Potential answers are - part of a charity committee back at high school. - Joined a mentoring 'team' back at uni, though I worked on my own for 6 months to tutor a 1st year student with his maths. Do you think these sound flimsy? Thanks! :)

Just heard this morning that I have passed with 61% and I have my Day 2 on the 30th of this month. Just like to say thankyou to everyone who have helped me and i couldn't of done it without you all. Site admin, SPOT ON! Cheers everyone!

anyone on here applied to work for west mids??

Hi all, Well, this morning I phoned up vetting and the lady said it has been completed. Does this mean it has the ok? I kinda feel a bit deflated, I think I should be happy but I am not to sure as she sounded a bit vague. I then phoned up recruitment at Hendon and I asked what happens next (I know they do referencing) I am just curious to know if I will have a letter sent to me etc? Cheers

Hi all, Just found out that I passed A/C that I attended a couple of weeks ago. Happy with score (though don't know what pass mark is for force I applied to!) although feedback to follow apparently. Thought I'd share some of my thoughts about a/c with you & hope someone might find them useful cos I know I found (and will still find throughout rest of process) a lot of posts on these forums helpful. Obviously I can't give out any precise details, etc, but have included some general guidelines that I hope might be useful. Firstly, I run pubs and have done for a few years so have got a background in customer service which I suppose in theory should help - though most…

A friend of mine has just applied to Strathclyde Police, when I asked how he got on with the 4 main questions at the back (the 4 main ones that are broken down) he said what questions? I thought they got the same application form as the English do, anyone know anything different? Also I keep hearing about people reading books buying CDs and attending training days to help pass certain levels of the Police process. Surely if you need all that just to pass the initial Police process how are they going to get on when they don't have the CD or book in front of them. I'm sorry but if you cant pass the test honestly and be yourself then you are giving the panel or board a fa…
