Passed the medical yesterday for Essex Police. So now just waiting for the start date.... Cant wait! Another 3 months? Anyone know the next induction dates, after the May 1st ones?

Ey up, Just got results from A/C and got 55% overall but as Kent Police has a 60% automatic pass score I have an interview with a 2 person panel, atleast 1 of which will be a serving officer. The covering letter says the interview will focus on community and diversity issues to help the drive towards Neighbourhood policing. Any1 else out there in the same boat and any tips on what to swat up on in particular bar the obvious. Any help would be much appreciated. Good luck 2 any1 else in similar position as myself. Cheers

Hello All Just wondered if there was anyone on here from L&B due to start on the 28th April? Cheers, sachaakakim

HI all dec apps has anyone been given a defernate a/c date yet. Or does anyone know how soon after they give you the a/c date the a/c could be.

Just got my medical appointment through. 30th April - much sooner than I'd expected. Anyone else heard anything yet?

Hello all! I'm new to the site, just found out on saturday I passed my a/c so obviously I'm pretty happy! Just a quick question, would really appreciate any help. Does anyone know how and what they check in regards to previous time off sick? I had 12 days off all in 1 occasion last year when I broke my wrist playing football but had no other time off at all in the previous 3 years. I did provide a doctors note to my employer at the time too. Just wondered if this could possibly have any negative impact upon joining. Would appreciate any help, thanks, Mark

Hi All, I have a problem and need some advice. I have been accepted for Lothian and Borders police and have been given a start date in June. My soon to be ex-boss has not replied to the reference request. The recruitment office called today to say that no reference results in no confirmation letter. I was told previously not to resign until I get the confirmation letter as no letter means no job! Has anyone had a similar experience? Thanks to all. Cheers Stuart

i haven't yet anybody else?

Assessment Centre...if you fail, do you have to go right back to the pre recruitment evening, application form etc stage? Or is there a chance to 're take' the assessment centre?

Hi All, I thought i'd give you all a rough outline of my assesment centre experience at Ryton yesterday. Firstly I think my first mistake was that I revised and prepared for it too much. I wouldn't usually do this (didn't revise much for my degree) but I wanted it so much and I thought good preperation was the key. My advice to anyone would be to just get a basic grip of the relevant police competancies, other than that to try and just go in as relaxed as possible. I personally thought the Test Centre was excellent. The staff were kind and helped us along nicely at a decent pace. Fast enough to keep your mind ticking but slow enough for you to relax somewhat.
