Hi, I have just applied to join the Nottinghamshire Police and feel very nervous at the prospect of the financial background checks. My husband ran into some financial difficulty with his business (due to the crappy financial climate!) and is like to be made bankrupt in the next month. I am not named on any of his financial obligations We have a joint mortgage which will remain in place, and this has always been kept up to date. I have also have a loan which has always been maintained. I personally do not have any defaults, CCJ's or anything registered against me. Will I refused entry due to my association with a bankrupt? I suspect no-one wil…

Hi, I had my medical yesterday, when i turned up and was seen by the nurse the first thing she said was that i could not complete my medical today as they require my hole medical history. This was a bit of a suprise as i thought they could have told me on the phone rather than me travelling an 80 miles round trip and having to take a day of unpaid leave from work but hay ho. I've also not heard of anyone having to do this on here?? She told me the reason was due to the fact i had three weeks off work, about 2 1/2 years ago due to glandular fever. This is fair enough, she then went through and asked some questions about my medical history which i answered and decided to t…

Hi I am just wondering are Vetting and Background checks the same thing or are these two different types of check? I only ask as I currently hold a high level of vetting from my previous job in the forces and would like to know if these are taken into account during Vetting. Thanks Adam

hi guys, Currently going through recruitment for the CNC, i'm filling in my forms for vetting and references, which brings me to my question. How good do your references need to be? I haven't had any sick days since i've been with this employer, I do generally ok with my work (don't actually like the job, hence the application with the CNC), but I'm worried about how good my reference will be. i know that my references from prior jobs will be glowing, so how would they view, one good, one not so good reference? can somebody give me their thoughts, as I may be worrying it into a bigger problem than it is..

Your on the night shift, it's saturday and very busy as usual. You get the chance to grab a bite to eat, what you choosing a good old chicken kebab with extra chillie sauce or a half price subway.

I've just started on a tutor unit. Over my first few shifts, i've felt nervous and uptight and have really tried to hard . I've had experience of police work before and thought that it would have helped me, but i've been wrong! Any advice on how to realx and approach my training? I've spoken to my tutor but i'm not sure i understand what he means.

Hi Has anyone else just gone through the new student officer progamme and if so how did you find it ? I have to say that there is far to much theory and not enough practicals. My friends/colleagues who have all been job for a while all went through BRUSHE ( old style training school ) and said it was brilliant with loads of practicals which helped them learn more and they all felt better prepared for operational duties. I wish i had that experience but it's all gone now and this new training style is in. What are your thoughts ?

Any one know if you work out of the one Police station full time, or do you operate from all stations in the borough as and when???

Hi all could anyone give me a very rough idea of how much your takehome wage increased after being signed off from your tutorship? I have a date with my mortgage man later!!

Hey guys, Well I went to the assessment centre yesterday for Sussex constabulary and feel like I prepared a fair old amount! I had prepared interview answers, practiced some role-plays and practiced doing the planning stage so I had a sound and structured plan etc and finally practiced a few proposals and there structure also. So I went there feeling relatively confident but still nervous as hell lol!! 1st came the role-plays and these seemed to go ok. However, I’m not sure I probed or ‘peeled the onion’ enough lol! I asked what had happened and why etc. then explained what could be done and what I felt should be done to rectify the situation. Always made sure I …

Hello all, I finally received my letter after sending in my application to say I passed that stage. Now I have stage 2 on 3rd March, can anyone help with what I should do or can do to prepare? I know you have role plays and maths test .... and the interview! But the more I think about it the more I am freaking myself out lol If anyone has any advice I would be extremely regrateful.
