My partner had a drug addiction in the past, I understand that this would have a negative impact on my chances of working with the Police but could I be rejected because of this, I have never taken drugs myself, also he has been clean from drugs for 2 years

Hi, noticed a few questions on here lately regarding what to expect on the day of an AC or interview. I strongly recommend buying a revision book and guide called " How 2 become a Police Officer" by Richard McMunn. Incredibly helpful; particularly the sample questions, scenarios and answers. Helped me right the way through the process at every stage.

Hi guys, I have been researching my application and in doing so have been looking at the Police Core Competencies and Leadership Behaviors. I am wondering if one of them has been updated with the other? Competencies- community and customer focus effective communication personal responsibility problem solving resilience respect for race and diversity teamworking Leadership Behaviors- public service openness to change decision making professionalism service delivery working with others Some of them seem similar with a change in wording. Thanks.

Hi Guys, I am wondering if all of the applications forms for Police Officer Recruitment are the same, regardless of constabulary. I would like to start early on my application as I have some free time at the moment. I plan on applying online, it would be great to be able to copy and paste my answers into a word document, so that I can easily apply in the future when a force I desire to join begins recruitment. Thanks, Ste

Ok, so I'm getting the bug for starting threads etc lol. I recently passed paper sift and have starting my prep for A/C. At the minute I am constantly checking my emails, on-line account with NY. And I bet most of the people have been the same on here? Ok, at the moment I have more or less been told to wait out for A/C which is held on behalf of NYP by West Yorks and is likely to happen in October. I had a message on here saying that 'their friend' was through to the A/C and had a confirmed date. For some reason I am googling alot trying to find out how many applied intially and how many will be at the A/C. I can't find anything out at all except a piece from a local…

Hi everyone! I used to take anti anxiety medication and have been off it for 9 months now. I have passed all my stages of the recruitment centre however i am just waiting for the OH doctor to sign off the forms, he is on sick at the moment. Will my history of medication hinder anything at all? It never affected work and i never took time off. I took it to reduce facial blushing! Thanks guys.

Hi guys, since 2014 I'm trying to start my role as a PC. İn 2014 I failed my medical for hearing and then got a hearing aid. It took about a year then they told me because it's been over a year my medical is expired so I have completed medical again in April this year and passed. In May they sent me the vetting form to fill in and I did send it back to them. Since then never heard back from them, emailed hr.postselection email address but still no response. Don't know what to do, as I have researched and there's no number to call either. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Since some police forces changed their fitness tests, what does everyone think is harder, the bleep test or the 1.5 mile run?

Would my family member having a criminal record and previously being in prison affect my application, I do not have a criminal record myself

Hi all, I'm new here so if this is in the wrong place or something please move or delete. So I'm going through the application and I'm struggling to think about my past experiences and was just wanting some inspiration. I need to answer a question about when I have had to make an unpopular decision and what was the impact. And also i need to answer one about when I've influenced people with two completely different agendas, how did I resolve the situation. Any help will be appreciate.
