Failed my final interview for Lancs today, however got told I would be invited back for another interview in 6 months. Was wondering what happens next? do recruitment contact me and arrange another interview or do I have to contact them? I take it I will recieve something in the mail from them? Weighing up my options at the moment. maybe transfer application but when I passed a/c all I recieved was letter to say I had passed no pass marks, is this usual? If I wanted to transfer my application would it just be a case of contacting recruitment to recieve grades. Sorry for all the questions but I've read through the forums and carnt seem to find any information on this…

Hi All. Thinking of doing a Met Police access course at a London college. Has anyone been on one and are they recommended. Thanks Jonah.

Hey, Is anyone that is about to attend an AC worried about the written proposals? I don't really get the chance to write many reports in my current role so feel that this will be a challenge for me. I have practiced many times and I am happy with my structure, it's just my content seems to lack depth when compared to other examples that I have seen on the forums. Have any of you that have attended the AC before struggled in this area and passed? Cheers

Had my AC on friday and boy was I crapping my pants! When I turned up though and saw a load of young smartly dressed people looking just as worried as me I felt a lot better. Its true what they say, you really cannot tell how well you have done so I have 3 weeks of waiting to get my results. The bit I am most unsure of is the role-play because I was never sure if you were meant to make definate decisions and come to a conclusion but we shall see. Some people say take some water and a chocolate bar but turns out at Sussex I received water and biscuits, tea, coffee with quite a few breaks so dont worry about it. Everyone says you get a headache by the end and this is so…

Hello hello hello, Can anyone offer me some advice. Before handing in my medical questionnaire to my GP for confirmation signature etc, I completed it as this is what I though I was expected to do. Therefore, when it came to vaccination dates I had to estimate at a couple of them. My GP called last night to say the form was ready, but the dates I had completed were incorrect. She has kindly written the correct dates on the back section (her section for any notes) but I am a little concerned that the confliction my cause problems. Should I cross out the dates I wrote and amend them accordingly, or should I just leave it as the correct dates are on the back? I am at t…

Hi there, Can anyone give any advice as to what to expect from the critical thinking test for Lothian and Borders Police? I have my assessment day in just over a month and am wondering if i can prepare for it. Also any tips for learning about current issues/Lothian and Borders Policing issues?

Hi guys, Not sure if this is just a hopeful rumor but I have heared that the Met police have dropped their day 1 pass park from 60% to 55%. Does anyone know if this is true? I got 56% and so didnt pass. They have allowed me to try for pcso position, however if it is true that they have dropped the pass mark I will appeal! Cheers
