Alright everyone, Just wondering if anyone else has their Assessment Centre on June 30th, 12.45-6pm? Be good to get to know a few people before turning up! Thanks, Paul

Hi there, i am looking to join L&B, i have filled my application in ready to send off, but really want to know if anyone knows roughly when the fitness tests will commence. I have recently had an umbilical hernia operated on and have been advised not to do any training for at least 6 weeks. any advice would be excellent. Chris.

Hi I have just found out that I have passed my assessment centre (Hurrah!!!!) Can anyone tell me how long it takes to get a date for the fitness test. I could do with working out how long I have to complete my transformation from a couch potato! Also is the fitness test and medical done on the same day? Thanks folks

Is there any reason to go in smart clothes to the uniform fitting? I only ask because my appointment is in the afternoon and I'm going while I'm at work. I drive a van for work and wear jeans and a polo shirt. If I wear smart clothes at work there's a danger of getting a little dirty and looking worse than if I was in jeans. If I don't go from work I have to take the day off which I can't really afford to do. Also does anybody know how long it takes? Just so I can tell my boss how long I'll be there for. Fast replies appreciated, my appointment is tomorrow! Andy

Hi All, First post :) So anyway, I sent my application form of to the Met at the beginning of March. I got the CASA form about a week later (16th March) and sent that off within a week. I was just wondering how long I'm likely to be waiting to hear about a Day 1. The only reason I ask is that I rang Met Recruitment last week and the woman I spoke to said it looked like my application is going through but I was just looking at one of the other police forums out there and someone who applied (to the Met as well) slightly after me has already heard about their Day 1. I'm a bit concerned now :s Any thoughts? Cheers, Matt

hello i got 58% for my recent a/c. I have been called for another interview with herts as they interview people who got 55-59. If i fail this interview does it mean i cannot transfer my application to another force??? thanks

All 25 of us on the day passed - so I am led to believe, its all down to vetting now, fingers crossed and good luck to all the others there today... ...we shall meet again, at Hendon...

Im just waiting for an a/c date to come threw and already worrying my arse off about everything. Most importanlty im worried i will fail my financial vetting because; 1. A huge overdraft that i go over and mess up payment plans and constant charges on my account. 2. A credit card that i am only just paying off. 3. Direct debits that some months i miss and then i get charges. Are all these a major reason to me failing in the future? Arghhh i should have never gone to uni!!! Thanks

Hi all I have a questions regarding the PIRT tests that i will have to take at the assessment centre. I understand that there will be verbal logical reasoning tests and numerical tests however are there any others? I appreciate that there are written tests etc but are there tests for the below TEST 1 Verbal usage 1. One hundred officers ________ allocated for ____________ control. A - was / croud B - was / crowd C - were / croud D - were / crowd E - none of these Additionally are there any tests for checking information? the reason i ask is that the reference books i have dont list checking data or spelling etc. Any help would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks …

Anybody heard anything back from vetting and security checks yet? Successfully completed the fitness and medical, got a drugs test on the 28th. Post here when you hear something new! Good luck all...

Hey, A little help needed here, I am currently applying for the MET, i passed my application, day 1, day 2 and vetting. However becuase i got a penalty for urinating in public 3 weeks ago my start date has been cancelled and application terminated. Its the MET's policy to fail anyone that recieves a penalty or conviction during the recruitment process. I have appealed the desicion which i have been informed i have a slight chance of winning due to how minor it is. If it is unnsuccesful is it possible for me to pass my application on to Kent who may be look on the matter differently? any help greatly appreciated Thankyou

I have just been on the police could you site and have seen the City of London Police are now recruiting until the 15th of May. Until today I had never heard of the City of London Police.
