Hi I attended Ryeton AC on 29th April for BTP.Has anyone had their results yet?

Anyone have this start date, if so when did you find out? thanks

Just looking at the application form for Lothian and Borders Police. If you've read my posts you'll know I've had three small run-ins.. 1) Name taken a few years back as there was a break-in in a nearby area. Nothing happened.. 2) Name and details taken coming back from Ocean Terminal in Leith (not a nice area so you can guess why ) 3) Drove up a one-way street the wrong way by accident about a year ago - got taken into the police car and let off with a warning (not sure if it was official... certainly never got a letter....??), details taken. Looking at section 8, the most relevant question is the second one, asking if I've received an official police warning. I d…

Just over 4 years ago I bought a car from a garage in Farnborough. They M.O.T'd it and had to replace the front brakes so it was a few days before I could collect the car. I used my old car as part ex and when I collected the new car (2nd hand), everything seemed ok and I had taken out insurance on the day I actually bought it. On my way home, I was pulled over by the police and one of the officers took the tax disc out of the window whilst the other asked me a few questions about the car, "Had I recently bought it? Was it insured?" Etc. After a few more questions the other officer returned and informed me that the tax disc was from the car I had given to the garage a…

Hi people, has anyone who was on the 19th January fitness test at Sulhamstead received their formal offer yet? Is it just me or did they say we'd get them within 7 - 10 days? Anyone know how long it usually takes? Thanks x

Just to say to everybody who helped and gave advice thank you for all your support. Went for a private eyesight test today turns out im colour blind. Apparently its pretty bad dichromatic whatever that means. optician told me that its a 99% chance they will reject me so I won't be holding my breath. I came so close but suprisingly im not bitter or angry, just confused as to what to do at 24 years old! im still going to go to my interview, and see how far i get but i really wont be holding my breath. As i said im not angry just a little shocked and upset. But il get over it lol I hope everybody who does DESERVE to be a copper gets what they want. again thanks. Will keep …

Hope I'm not getting too hard ahead of myself but does anyone know how the metropolitan police administer their eyesight test? Do they send you to your optician with a form or do they get you to do a eye test on the day? Finally, what sort of test do they use, just a traditional snellen chart or what? I would be a bit borderline on the 6/36 requirement for unaided vision... Might have to consider laser eye surgery. Any info would be great.

i have just completed my eyetest at my optician and he filled out my form i just wanted to know if the Police do their own eye test during the medical as well? or do they just look at the optician's sheet?

hi all does anyone have the in take date for 3rd august 2009?

Should i be revising or watching 'deal or no deal' repeat. answers on a postcard please! K (p.s anyone else playing tomorrow?)

Hi Guys, Just a quickie for you - how hard did you feel the running test is? Reason I ask is that I HAD been running 3 times a week 2.25 miles 30 mins. However, I had an accident at home. A bottle fell off the top of fridge/freezer and a 2 inch long shard of glass went into my calf. The hospital pulled it out and the doc said it looked like I'd been stabbed. The long and short of it is that I took a month off the running as the scar looked like it might pull apart under the strain (the scar isn't very long despite the length of the glass that went in.) I have a practise on tuesday, then the real test on 8th June. I went for an abridged run tonight, j…
