Hello. I am trying to find out when there will be another open event for new constables but I get a "mailbox full" message when I call the careers office and there are no other contact details. Does anyone know if they have an email address I can use to get in contact with them? Also, did I literally just miss out on an event? If so, does this mean I will be waiting for around 6+ months before there is another one? Thanks in advance.

I have to say a massive thanks to all you guys who have posted on this forum with advice, whether directly to me or to others - All played a huge part in making my 2nd attempt at the assessment centre a SUCCESS!!!!!! Yep, it's not quite sunk in yet and I keep thinking I'm still waiting to hear I failed, but I did it! I just have to wait for my FIB now. If anyone can give me any advice for Leicestershire FIB, I'd be very grateful!! Thanks again guys, keep up the good work, and I'd be very happy to join you in helping folks with questions on the assessment centre! Meg

For example, would I be able to work behind a bar to earn some extra cash? I say bar work as it would be evenings, fit in ok with the shift pattern and I have done a bit of it in the past.

Well if the guys on day 1 are correct then tomorrow is the day that the results of the day 1 assessment are due to drop through the letterbox!! Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

Hi all! I have my assesment centre for Dorset tomorrow and am majorly nervous and have started to doubt one of my RRD examples, and just wanted to know if this was ok or if its generally a bit weak and if i should change it. Basically when taking into account someone else's views i have discussed my friend from university being a vegetarian and when i moved in with her i had to take into consideration that she didnt like the sight of raw meat and that she had her own utensils etc. I also asked her about her vegetarianism and the reasons why she is one and took these into consideration. I also described how we cooked a vegetarian xmas dinner when myself and my other hous…

Just wondering if anyone could give me any advice as whether my 'difficult decision that others disagreed with'. This is the only competency question that im struggling to think of a good example. So far ive come up with ....during a surfing holiday in cornwall with friends, we had all got into our wetsuits and carried our boards quite a way down to the beach, to find the sea to be very rough and the light failing. The lifeguards werent working as it was out of season and towards the evening. My friends were all eager to go in as we had made such an effort, but I stood my ground and said that it was too dangerous. Of course i would describe it and write it out a lot b…

If you join the police service do they make you have this vaccination? I know it would be better to be protected against it but I have heard the vaccine carries its own risks, such as an increased chance of developing ms. Any advice appreciated!

I'm looking for a copy of the bleep test to download to my computer, then on to my mp3. Anyone know where and how to do it? I tried getting it from the link above but couldn't!

Hi, Just a quick question, does anyone know how many answers on the numerical and logical tests that you have to get right in order to pass that particular section? and each of the other sections? I understand that RRD counts for a lot in the assessment centre? Some help would be greatly appreciated. Amy

I know that the numeracy test is a mental arithmetic test but are applicants allowed to make short working out notes on the side of the paper or does it have to be solely your head without any notes whatsoever?

Hi, can anyone give me a rough idea of the shift pattern currently at lancs. Thanks
