Regulars

Hi all, Just had confirmation that I've passed the papersift, on the email I got when I first applied it said that the A/C would be between Jan 09 and June 09, they havn't given me a date yet but I was wondering if anyone could give me a heads up on what to expect at the WYP A/C and the best things to do to prepare? I thought I would be releived when I passed the papersift but in reality I'm more anxious now than I was a week ago! :smiley_vomit: Thanks in advance for any advice

Afternoon all, Currently waiting for a start date with D&C, having spoken to recruitment recently I've been told it's looking to be around April time! Having left uni I'm looking for some full time employment up until I start my training. Was just wondering if it's deemed acceptable with the police, working in a job which requires an SIA licence? Only reason I ask is that apparently you are unable to apply to become a special constable if you hold an SIA licence/work in the security industry (Could be massivley wrong about this...if I am please ignore me!) Anyway, was wondering would the same rules be applicable to someone in my position. Have tried speaking to re…

I am currently a retained Firefighter and have passed all my selection to become a Regular Police Constabable. Does anybody know if i can carry on doing my retained Fire Service duties and serve as a regular Police constable or will i have to resign from the Fire Brigade. I have seen nothing that says i have to resign and cant have secondary employment on any website and i am aware that there is a regular Police constable who is currently going through Fire service selection in my county. Any help on this will be appreciated.

Frog, You're quiet? you fallen off your lilly pad?

Off to ATB on monday, very pleased. Sedgley was good, but it can be a bit slow at times. It'll be nice to get out into the communty for a change.

Hi All, This is an email that has been sent to me, it has some helpful hints!! Don't worry to much about Jackton it pretty straightforward. dress smart with a white shirt or blouse, same for the guys,dark suit, don't draw attention to yourself by wearing anything different,couple of guys on my intake got pulled up for wearing blue shirts. you will probably spend all of the first day in these. Take PE kit with you, you probably won't get it on first day but take it anyway as they may try to spring it on you and see who has got their gear with them, just leave it in your car, same for your shoes and boots take them and leave them in your car. Make sure you arrive early g…

Hey Guys, I've got my entrance and fitness test on 1st Feb, any tips would be appreciated. Thanks Jamie

Hi I am just wondering if anyone could possibly give me some advice, I applied to GMP in October 08 and have passed my application which is great, I go to the AC in March, the problem I have is that from a young age I suffered on and off with depression, all in which I think to be normal with things I endured, a few examples of the causes are being sexually abused when I was younger, my parents messy divorce, and then being married to a mentally abusing husband, and then my own messy and frightening divorce...........would GMP take my experiences into account before judging me on my depression periods, as in my eyes this would be normal for anyone that endured such things…

Anyone know what they are like with BMI at GMP? They Strict with the below 30 mark? :whistle2:

hello, i was thinking of applying and just need to find out a few details about the length of time the process should take from start to finish i will attend the recruitment seminar this saturday, so will send off the application within a week after that. so i just wanted to know how long it will be until i actualy start the training. the only real issue is that i am a dual national (British/eastern european), so will all the checks take longer than usual? as my parents are also dual nationals. or maybe i do not need to mention this in my application form, as i am british, my dual nationality shouldnt really effect anything. could some…
