Regulars

Apply to be a PC and PCSO at the same time, so say merseyside were recruiting regular PCs at the end of this month and i applied, then they opened recruitment for PCSOs about a month later could i apply for that also. Would this affect my application at all i only ask just incase i failed my recruitment stage first time for a regular police officer and i would have something to fall back on in the mean time untill i could apply again, Sam

Has anyone filled in the skills questions from quesions 6 onwards? confused on how and what to put down

Hi, I'm nearly at the end of recruitment just one stage left then i'm in. I applied two years ago, and recently as everything has started to come togetehr i've been getting second thoughts. I'm mainly worried becuase some of my family don't think i'm right for the job, i think becuase i'm not some meat head who they associate with the police. I'm also worried that i might not be able to hold my own when i get abuse from the crims, concerned that it will effect me emotionaly or i won't know what to do.

Cheers Bobby

Starting on the 11th...a police friend of mine said I am on the system and I have an email address. Finally I know it is official. I am going with "2 ears, 1 mouth - use them in that proportion" as a guideline. Any other sage advice for a new starter?

HI ya, more worries from me. I'm not sure how to work out my sickness records bradford style. Right I think this is correct. 2008 had 2 days out from work hospital confirmed laryngitis. After july2008 I have been in college so i dont know what they use as a scikness record there 2007 i was in the middle of moving away, so I am not sure if I was on record at work or not as they didnt contact me. I fell on the way to work on the tube steps after it had been raining, got sent to hospital for the day,was sent home to lye down for 2weeks as I couldnt walk more than a few steps alone. 2006-i was told to take 2 weeks off by the doctor for being over tired and burnt out.
