Regulars

Hi guys! Just wondering if anyone no's the website where i posted my application to merseyside police, got my a/c on sunday so wanted to look over the competencies. Thanks.

What happens if you miss some training, like you become ill or have an emergency and miss a couple of days?

after working out how this forum works - having not been on before I'm thinking my original post would be better here. So here goes; I have submitted my transfer application. I have stated that I wish for the Western Division and been told that they have vacancies there so it will be my first choice. I have submitted the various forms which are associated with my transfer application, because as we all know we love to fill in forms after several years service! What I don't know is what the shift patterns are. What is the likely posting, would it be initially be on to a response team and is there a southern living allowance? Is there anything I need to be aware of or c…

Hello there, I have recently been to an assessment day in Oxford (Kidlington) for the position of a Special Constable. All went well except the interview, which was a complete disaster. My question is this, can I apply to be a regular without waiting the six months? Failing that, does the six month cool-off period apply only to the force I applied to ( Thames Valley ) or all forces? Thank you very much for having a look. :)

Hi all Can anyone tell me at which point do I find out which borough i will be working in? I have been given my start date but no mentioning of borough. Thanks

Hi, ive just done my medical at west mercia, does anyone no how long i can expect to wait before hearing of a possible start date?

Just thought i'd see if anyone else is going on the above date. Only found out two days ago and now i'm revising like the clappers.

Hi everyone, just wondering whether you get given another copy of the westshire pack on your actual day 1 ?????? i'm trying to mesmorise the equality policy statement and code of conduct but it just seems to be going in one ear/eye and out the other . thanks Mark

So, I am currently sat here with my Borough Selection form for the Met. Whilst I spend the next 3 hours looking at each borough page on the Met website at stats etc any of you currently serving with the met who would like to add their 2 pennies worth ?

Is it practical to bring my (push)bike Is there someone secure I could leave it in the building, or prehaps even in my room? Don't want to be leaving it locked out on the street everyday Also with regards getting to Hendon, what is the tube route you take, finding it a bit confusing on the website. It looks as though it would be so much easier to just ride straight up Edgware Road to Colindale.

I'm pretty sure that during my interview on a/c day the questions asked of me will not be as rigid as they are on the application form. Is it likely I will be asked to display the core competencies as outlined in the information already given to me, but with added questions within the five minutes. In other words, will I be expected to reel off five minutes of speech without interruption? Many thanks in advance

Hi all, I'm hoping that someone can give me an idea of how the hours/weeks are structured during training and also how the shift pattern works at Reading/Cowley/Thame for example. I may be wrong, but from what I gather on the forum, training is for about 35 weeks at either Sully/Aylesbury/Abingdon (depending on BCU) and in that time you switch between class-based training and tutored training with a constable at your station at pre-determined week intervals. Once you have completed that bit, you go onto full shift pattern at your station to complete your training and NVQ (2 years in total????) Can someone please explain the weeks and hours for entire the training peri…

I hopefully will be on the August 3rd intake and was simply wondering do we work through xmas with xmas day and boxing day off as per usual employment or do we have a week or two off. I'm asking because if I do get Aug (fingers crossed!) the 18 week break will be on w/c 1st Dec whereas my Mrs who is a teacher doesnt finish till 2 weeks later or so on. I really don't mind working over christmas but its just a thought that springs to mind. Any help, as always is appreciated! Cheers Guys and Gals, Dom
