Hi I have just submitted my application for a officer position with the CNC. I've done a few years in a H.O force but fancied a change... Has anyone any advice on; The assessment centre The Initial training Working at Dungeoness Many thanks in advance Bravo Victor

Hello all, I'm looking for some advice from currently serving if possible, though obviously anyone can share their opinion. I currently work for BT in a comfortable role, working 4 days a week (10hr shifts) and earning around £28000 per year. As an engineer I have reached my ceiling, though there are chances to climb elsewhere within the company. I have recently been successful in my final interview to become a police officer and am just awaiting medical and vetting before the application can be concluded. It is clearly something of a gamble seeing how I will be around £9K out of pocket upon joining, although I realise that this will eventually surpass my curr…

Is 5'9 1/2 small to become a Met police? They all look 6 foot or above. Police officer around my height are usually just on foot patrol, not doing much. Whereas the big ones are the first to be called up and sent to more important scene. This would stop you from getting promotions as well.

Good afternoon all, I had my final interview this morning in Wakefield. A presentation lasting up to 10 minutes followed by the other information stated in the e-mail successful Assessment Center candidates may have received. I don't want to elaborate on that because we're obviously advised not to. I finished my presentation in 9 minutes and 55 seconds - perfect really. I felt very confident with it and had a fair few people review it - but who knows maybe that wasn't good enough? But I felt very confident about it. I then answered the questions. Now having worked desk jobs for the last few years for the civil service I don't have many examples of y'know - encounters w…

Good Afternoon All, My semipro interview is next week, is there any hints or tips you guys & girls might have please? All feedback welcome! Thanks in advance! Sent from my iPhone using Police Community

Afternoon all, After a little advice. I currently serve in the Army and can sign off in October 2016 which means I have to serve a final 12 months after giving this notice, however, I have read that other people in the same situation have been granted early release. I have a current application with my local police force and they know about this, I have been invited to the Search Assessment centre in May but I am away on a training exercise. I am going to do my best next week to ask my superiors to allow me to attend the training centre. So my question is to those who are serving, have you been in a similar situation and are there any loop holes or methods that I can …

Hi all. Sorry if it's the wrong thread, but I hope I cracked it with beginners luck. I have an interest in both Police Scotland and the MOD Police, however I have an overall aim of joining the MOD Police. I have looked at MOD Police recruitment, and to sum it up: currently shaky. They are clearly having a tough time. A recruitment campaign anticipation is looking set for the end of the year, but a long process until job offer is what applicants will face. Not the circumstances I would want for myself given how I will be leaving education with no jobs on offer right now in my or near my local area. Even if I do wait, the chances of getting in are somewhat bleak because …

I'm currently in the army and wanting to join the police, I'm in the process off filling in the application form and have just been told that I am going to be going away somewhere warm from July to November. The application closing date is the 22 May will me been away and possibly uncontactable affect the application process or does it not happen that quick? Any info would help a lot I can't seem to find anything on the website

What does the 12 weeks training consist of?

Apologies for possibly stupid question, boyfriend and I are both interested in the answer but feel it might give off wrong impression if he asks his CKP provider and prefer the anonymity here :) He's been given information as to the initial pay for a PC: just shy of £30,000, including London weighting. What we wanted to know, is that what he actually starts on, as in as soon as he's officially a PC, or is this after probationary period?

Hi all, so I got the offer and start in June..... I have uniform fitting on Monday.... What does it involve? Do I have to try everything on. Will I get the kit there and then? Can you take kit home or does it stay at your station?
