Hi i have my final interview for th GMP in a couple of weeks and i am thinking about other competency question i can use that are different from my application form (apparantly they have your app form in front of them). what do you think of these two scenarios how can i improve them, what else do i need to add? Team working – I was promoted to manager at a bigger store in Salford and was told that shortly after arriving I would be having a stock take. I knew I would have to involve every member of staff and we would have to work as a team to complete the task successfully. I did not know anyone personally who worked at that branch so the first day I arrived working…

I started training for fitness test about 3-4 weeks ago - try to do a bit of running everyday. (submited application 2 weeks ago) For the first time tonight (on the road running) I run 1.5 miles without stopping - and did it in 13:38 - I have to do it in 14 So I know that there are no flying colours in this pass - but I really feel like I can do it now - which is most of the battle. Got the date for my fitness test in two days ago (maybe thats the kick I needed?) so couldn't have happened at a better time. I have 5 weeks on Tuesday till my test, so now just have to improve my time on the 1.5 mile and also work on my distance in general to prepare for the fitness standa…

G'day everybody, This is my first post, so a big hello from me! I had my assessment morning yesterday in Coventry for the Bedfordshire police. Incredibly exhausting experience but a positive one. However, I am really leaning toward thinking I have been unsuccessful this time. I definitely fouled up the Numerical test, I answered 18 of the 25 questions, I would have answered them all but the invigilator chap didnt bother telling us we had 5 min / 1min left...he did in every other examination! The Interactive exercises went fairly well, I think I did well on 2 at least, 1 was ropey at best. The written exercises seemed to go OK, but again it is difficult to tell. I …

HI all. I am a single parent (Boy of 15, and a girl of 9), and i am awaiting my start date. Is there anyone out there in a similar situation or already serving? How did you cope? Are your bosses understanding? Is there any help or advice available? I must add that i am not looking for or expecting any special treatment, i am sure i will cope well. However if i do come across any problems or issues i would be interested to know how they would be viewed. Not seen any other posts in relation to this and feel alone. any advice would be welcome thanks.

Hi all this is my first post on here! Really good site! I was looking for a bit of help if possible? I am now 25 and I am applying for the 3 time. I applied when I was 18 and got rejected, i presume due to my age and lack of know how. I then applied when I was 22 to a different force and i was unsuccessful again, due to me not disclosing a £20 fixed penalty fine that I was informed (by a friend policeman) that i did not need to disclose, I obviously did! I am now 25 and being a Police constable is all I have ever wanted to be. I have prepared tirelessly for months, revising, studying etc What I was wanting to know is will my two previous failed applications wor…
