Hello, I have asthma and I was just wondering can I get turned away for this? I'm a fit person, i've got to 10 on the beep test before and I stay very active, I do have to take medication for my asthma everyday but I would safely say it is under control. I've just sent my application form off for the met police and I am just trying to prepare myself incase I do get to the next stage. Thanks for your time, Jason

Hi all, I just wanted to check up whether any of you applying to Kent Police heard anything. I've phoned them up yesterday and the lady on the phone said they're still in papersift stage and being dealt with (not mentioning we were given an initial response time 16th January) Did anyone got an A/C date by any chance?

Hi guys, my first post on here. I've been reading for a while and you all seem quite a well informed bunch so I thought I'd post a question. I've got my A/C for the Met on Friday. Just checking over my paper work for the day and have a few worries over the CCRU form. Does anybody know if this can effect your chances of being accepted? Being honest I don't think I have sufficient knowledge to be able to give expert advice in the areas mentioned in the form. Obviously I don't want to start making stuff up making out that I do. I would rather be honest and write something like 'unfortunately I don't feel I possess sufficient knowledge to be able to provide expert advi…

Hi there Can anyone tell me whether the initial training at hendon is residential or do trainees have to commute? Ive got my medical in a couple of weeks but havnt been given any information on what happens next if I pass!!! Apologies if this is in the wrong forum. Jim

Hi all, I thought this might be a good place for us to keep eachother informed about the outcome of our interviews this week and last. If anyone has had, or is due to have, their interview this week, let us all know when it is and how you got on. For those that have already been, again let us know how you got on. I will start: Mine is on wednesday morning of this week & I am bricking it! :smiley_vomit: :smiley_vomit: Good luck to everyone going this week, hopefully we will all get to meet soon.

Anyone still waiting on assessment centre results from any Day 1s for Met completed in January 09?

Hi sorry to bore you with a topic that has been raised many times already...but i've heard certain forces are more flexible than others with bmi, some except 30 or just above and some i hear are very strict at the 30 mark. Does anyone know what the met police are like with bmi regulations?? Also I have my 1st day assessment on the 17th Feb...and hopefully will get my day 2, how long (if i pass- fingers crossed) will I have to wait until my day 2 usually- ish??(just want to know how much time i've got to loose a stone or two...) Any help would be REALLY appreciated Ta!

Hello all, Can anyone confirm the current percentages required for the forces they wish to join. (Most especially Bedfordshire Police) Many thanks :smiley_notworthy: Rick :smiley_notworthy:

Hello All, Just receivced the application pack, while I'm OK with everything else, I am struggling with what to put in the box asking for additional skills / voluntary work... I work full time and have a family, so time is always precious, in addition the company I have worked at for the past 4.5 years has no in house training to speak of, such as first aid or anything.... Any pointers on what they are looking for here?? Thanks a lot!

Hi Guys, I got my final interview next thursday and was wondering if anyone could give me an idea of the type of questions to expect and what topics to cover. Thanx

Hi Guys, I've got my final interview on Wednesday with GMP ( :smiley_vomit: ) and was just getting all my stuff together this morning, and I think I may have lost one of the forms.... Should we have a medical form to hand in as well as the orange security questionnaire, and the white personal information forms???

I want to apply for NYP and I have just found out that they are recruiting next week. I am worried about the fact that I have recently come off anti depressants. I went on them Nov 2007 due to a partcicularly stresfull period in my life. I now feel fine and have chosen to come off them as I no longer feel that I need them, this was a one off incident of mild depression but i am now worried that it will affect my chances of joining the police. Any advice would be very grateful!

Hi all, im Joe, im 15, 16 in just under a month. I live in Stoke On Trent. I stumbled across this forum through a mate who has a career in the Police in mind, and it would be a great help if you could answer a few questions. Firstly, im in Y11 at high school, and i am also taking my education further by going to college. I am expected to get A's in the majority of my subjects and i appear to be on track at the moment. (I dont mean to be big headed). After college i do not really have a career prospect in mind. I want a lively and active job, not stuck in an office like my mum who is an accountant, and wishes she had done something else. At first i considered the Marine…
