Hallo I've my A/C with the Met next month and i'm planning answers to possible questions. I want to use a the example of a situation that occurred when I was a member of a jury about five yewars ago but I have no idea whether or not I'm allowed to talk about the case. The court does advise you not to discuss anything with anyone at the time of the trial but is that just until the case is over? I don't particularly want to break the law during my interview. Any ideas anyone?

Hello Everyone, Managed to pass GMP assessment in March after failing previously, so congratulations on those who passed this time and for those that didnt rememeber there is always another time, just keep working on the areas that you scored lower on. i know it seems a long way for the next opportunity but it actually comes thru quicker than you think and i needed all that time anyway to get better in the areas i was weak on! anyway, to get to the point... i have my final force interview shortly and want to access my original online application form and as I didnt print a copy out at the time I dont know how to access it.

Hi guys n girls, im new to this so be gentle. Basically my application has been passed to the vetting stage at the start of the week for Strathclyde Police. I have a couple of queries.

Hi I am new to this forum so hello! I was basically after some advice really. I just wanted to confirm with regards to actually gaining an Met Police app form you have to attend one of their events?

Hey folks, Just some advice really as to what I should put down on my medical form (when it comes through). Back last year sometime, I think, I went down the doctors due to having had constant stomach aches and this was making me feel like poo, getting up and feeling so ill everyday. Had previously been given some medicine for IBS but this hadnt worked so the doctor assumed it was depression as I had had the other tablets and hadnt felt better and gave me some anti-depressants for this although I had nothing to make me depressed or even upset. I took these for some months with no effect at all, still feeling like crap everyday but was told they would take a few months …

Anyone had their letter yet? Im still waiting..........

Hey there, I've just got my start date for June for Lothian and Borders. I have a driving licence but haven't actually driven for the past 8 years. I'm going to take some refresher lessons closer to the time of actually driving a Police car, which leads to my question: Do you have a course in driving a Police car at Tuliallan or does that happen later on? Cheers in advance, Chris

Hi all Just wondering if anyone has up to date knowledge on the Tayside Recruitment for new Police Officers? I'm considering applying and wanted to get my head around the timescales involved. In particular I'd like to know approximately how long from applying to starting assuming there are no delays caused by my availability for each step of the process. Also, what is the likely time from application to Assessment Centre? It would also be nice to hear from anyone else who is interested in Tayside Police, is currently in the recruitment process or who has recently completed it. Kind Regards Rich
