Regulars

I applied 4 weeks ago, wondering if anyone has a similar application time, whether they've heard anything back yet? Cheers, Ells

The probationer tomorrow as part of my interview prep (assuming I pass the SETs/Fitness test of course) I want to make the most of the time and ask relevant questions. Any advice welcome

hi there i am currently waiting to hear when my final interview is and i am just looking for some information on this. From what i have heard it is mostly scenario based question but i would just like some more info on this incase i have been miss informed. thanks Nathan

I found a website the other day that advertised a 3 day intensive course for ex military applying for the police. I've been searching for the link for the past half an hour, does anyone know it? Cheers.

1) where do I tell them that I am on a DMP? Should I mention it is the 'have you consolidated all your debts with one lender?' 2) half brothers - I have never lived with them, they are much old than me and I don't know their details apart from their names. Will this be okay or do I need to find out full details? 3) Should I include the degree I am currently studying? It's with the open uni so I can study when I have the time and stop if needed.

Hi everyone this is my first post in your forum. I am going to apply to Lancashire Police in a few weeks when they open recruitment for PC's and have seen different companies online which offer to check your application form and see if it is of the required standard. So my question has anyone on here used these services? If so which one? How would you rate the advice you received? Is it worth the money? And how secure is it? I.e. do they ask you for personal details like previous sir names, national insurance no. D.O.B etc. As all these things are included on the actual application form. Any replies will be much appreciated!! Megan.

So I'm totally going mad with the application form lol I really want to get in like everyone does of course but how much detail do I need to write for my competency based questions? I have a residential home example for Q1 where a resident was bullying another resident (Indian) both have mental health problems. The team question is based on a christmas party for kids at work. I have to admit that I don't have the most smallest of writing. If I get past this stage, I hate to think how I'm going to get 5 mins worth of answers lol

i have a ongoing application for a PCSO role and haved passed my medical an am waiting to get confirmation after the vetting an checks have been completed.i was contacted one day this week an asked if i could go to scotland yard as part of the vetting procedure. i was told that one in ten people get picked out randomly to do this and that i had been picked.i was wondering if anybody knew anything about this an any information that anybody had would be appreciated.many thanks

Hi, I'am on Q1 of the competency based questions in the application form; when describing a situation, how specific do they want you to be with what was said. For example, if somebody said "F**king chinks" in reference to Chinese people, would it be appropriate for one to actually put that in writing on the application form? Thanks.

Hello, I amm just wondering if anyone can give me some advice, I am looking to buy a new house and am just wondering if working for the police benefits you in any way when getting a mortgage?

Hi I dropped my medical questionnaire at my surgery last week, all the receptionist told me was that my doctor was not in that week and to call them this week to find out if my form has been filled out yet. Well I called them up just now and been told the doctor is on leave until next Monday! I've got my fitness and medical next Tuesday and stressing that the form won't be filled out in time... What should I do? There is no one else who can fill it out apparently.

hello i am new to this site and in need of some help, I am 19 year's old and trying to apply to Cumbria. I am a bit worried tho because i was arrested when i was 16 because of a fight, I only recieved a warning tho and not a caution and i was told this will not show up on my record. Will this stop me from joining? also my handwriting isn't the neatest will this damage my chances of applying also? also can any one tell me the next time ccumbria will be recruiting police offficers thank you.

I've been practicing a role play regarding a shop owner who is being harassed by a gang of youths, questioning the person I find out that the youths are all wearing hoodies. I seem to get everything in (what I propose to do, apologise etc) but the person I'm doing it with gets abit hot headed and says "I'm fed up of these Hoodies", so I thought it was a great time to pick up on the RRD comment and say "I appreciate you are angry, but I can not allow such language to be used here as it is against our equality policy" and then she says "How is saying hoodies against your policy?" so I can't really answer LOL. So my question is, is it really against the policy, better yet s…

Hi everyone, I don't know if this question has been answered already but I'm just wondering if anyone knows how many training intakes the Met are having? I know there is one on 16th March but I'm wondering if there are any confirmed dates after this? I have heard (whether true or not I don't know!) that they haven't got any more training planned after the end of the financial year meaning that people will have to go on a waiting list. I am currently waiting for my application to come off medical hold, on Thursday! yipee, and then go through vetting & references, so I won't make the 16th March intake. Anyone been offered April/ May dates? …
