Hi guys I know there's probably some other posts regarding the police constable senior interview. I'm looking for some advise generally and from anyone who has been through this with Kent Police who can give me some idea of what to expect. Many people I've spoken to have said the following - View the force website for mission, values and goals. - learn these - It's just a chat really. It's just seeing if you can talk. - It's quite easy. They aren't there to catch you out at this point. - They ask you for examples of times you've done something relating to the core competencies. That's some of the feedback I've had about the senior interview but anything els…

Hi, Can anyone advise exactly how much after tax and after pension had been taken they are coming out with during the first 2 year probation each month ? Also how much with overtime and unsocialable hours on average they are coming out with ? I'm just trying to get an idea as I'm starting in a month or so and dropping salary a fair bit so I really need to know the figure it could potentially be. Thanks, Ed

Hi, I have been considering applying to the police for a while now and I am finally going to send my application, however I don't have much of a work history, is there anything can do to make my application stand out a bit more and help me prepare for the tests involved, also could someone let me know how long it usually takes to hear from them after sending your application and how much is there between finding out and the tests. Thanks

Looking for advice regarding the Tulliallan Police College I saw online that you do not have to say over night is this true? It said under exceptional circumstances and if you live withing a sensible commuting distance I have thought about moving closer if this is the case, does anyone know?

Will joining the Conservative Party to elect the new leader and hence Prime Minister impact on your police application at all? Maybe a silly question.

Hi everyone! I'm wondering what sorts of tests are given to you to assess your intelligence. Are they standard aptitude tests or are they specific to the police force? I've been doing online ones and it's made me realise I should have kept up with my maths since leaving school 4/5 years ago! I think Verbal Reasoning ones I'll be okay with, provided I revise a bit. Thank you! - Liam S.

Hi All, I'm worried about the vetting form where it asks about financial history. My credit has always been great but my partner had a defaulted account 3 years ago. It has been settled and we have now purchased a house together. Will his bad credit affect me & my application? Thanks Hayley

I ve done my Assessment yesterday.I don't think I ll pass.I can just say that I was never in stressed as yesterday in role play and interview.I couldn't see anyone around who was smiling.I believe they were stressing and putting pressure on us for to see how we are mentally strong. Is anyone knows how long it ll take to get pass/fail results of assessment?

Hi all ive just recieved the letter i've been dreading, failing vetting. Can anyone help me with my appeal. the letter does not give much away. It says due to 'security and confidentiality reasons' Am i right to assume it may be one of my family members. I did make a few mistakes on my vetting application which were not disclosing family involving with police and my addresses for the last 5 years. I know silly mistakes but my wife is pregnant and running here there and everywhere i completely forgot. I did however realise 2 weeks letter and emailed HR informing them immediately. Im trying to base my argument based around integrity, if i was so dishonest why would i e…

Hi, I've just got told I've got through and been offered a position as PO for WYP after going through the last stage (medical) and passing. I just wanted to ask as the medical in my eyes was one of the worst parts of the process for people if we are assessed again at any point either during or at the end of the 2 year probation. If someone could advise that would be great. Thanks, Ed

So I did my assessment yesterday for Suffolk. I have come away feeling so disappointed in myself. I studied hard for two weeks earlier and feel it got me nowhere. It will be a miracle if I passed. I clammed up on 2 role plays, clammed up for 10 minutes for 2 questions on the interview as the questions were not for what I prepared for. Rushed the written as I was running out of time. Words crossed out from mistakes, writing rushed and not neat in the slightest and maths, well I wont even go there with that! Epic fail! Anyone else feel gutted after an assessment before they got their grade?

If my GP signs me off to say they believe I am medically fit, regardless of any referrals to specialists. And I am assessed by the FMO, which they find nothing wrong, am I correct in thinking they would declare me medically fit, or would they want letters from a specialist, like a physiotherapist, urologist etc? Which would take a long time to receive. I know it's hard to give a definitive answer, I'm looking for someone to comment who might of been through the process and had the same concerns.
