I have had a loan with the bank for a few years now, I have never missed a payment and the loan is coming down nicely. I maybe worrying over nothing but does anyone think this will effect me getting in ?. The only other debt I have ever had is for some wheels I brought when I was in my teenage years, I thought I had paid them off and cancelled the direct debit. Unfortunatly I still owed them aroung £150, copuple of years later I had a letter from a debt collector asking for £350. I found out that it was for the wheels and paid it in full within 1 day, it never went to court so I have no CCJ. I work for a High Court enforcement office so know all about debt. I'm just re…

Is the Fitness test/Medical the same for both Police and PCSO? Or are there some differences? :whistle2:

Please help asap!!!

Hi all, just after some guidance on what to expect during the 5 minutes preparation time before each of the role plays. The NPIA 'Information for Candidates' suggests that it is not necessary to learn the various policies (code of conduct and the equality policy) off by heart as all information required for each role play is provided in the 5 min preparation stage. If I had (hypothetically) a scenario that required me to refer to the equality policy, would it be available to me before I get in the room with the actor? Obviously, the more familiar you are with the material prior to the assessment day, the less time you'll waste trying to digest it on the day... Any com…

Hello, i know ive asked this before, however, i feel i need to ask again as im a bit worried. I sent my application off on the 2/12/08 and i still havent heard back, i have seen others get replies in a shorter period of time than that for the same force? Where do i go from here? Can i found out what is going on, if i got rejected or not?

Its getting pretty close now so what does your force require you to do before you start and are you ready ? I.E. in Sussex we have the definitions to learn, we need to start familiarizing ourselves with the highway code, we have two written exercises to do and it was recommended that we read Blackstones preparing for police duty. For my part i feel that I'm nearly ready, or at least as ready as i can be, i just have to finish reading the Blackstones book and continue to read the highway code. How is everyone feeling about it ? excited ? nervous ? i would have to say that its a mix of both for me, i have never been particularly impressive in the classroom so i'm a bit …

heey, this may sound silly but i am havin dfficulty in applying to become a police officer. some people are telling me to wait for an open day event and others are telling me to download an application form. i have been looking on the met website and it says they are recruting now until march, but i cant find the application form. can somebody please help. thank you

Hi, New to the board so thought I'd say hello. Also got my final interview next thursday(15th) and wondered if anyone has any words of wisdom. I carried out a lot of research(probably too much) before my initial so I'm pretty clued up on the force itself, however I've heard from a few fellow applicants that the final interview is not as focused on knowledge, but more on the applicants particular views. Can anyone help with the sort of research I should do in prep. I've already visited , my local station and a relative, however he has been in the force for several years and is not sure how the new format works. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hey, first of all Happy New Year! I was hoping someone could please spare the time, and read over my replies to these 'memos' regarding the written part of the A/C. Critical feedback is most welcome, whether it be negative, tips etc are also appreciated. :) FYI: Some of the memos I used are ones I picked up on these forums and PoliceUK, so big thanks to them for creating them. ------ Memo ------ I have just returned from a visit to the leisure centre and would like to report a problem I found. The floor in the ladies’ shower area was dirty and extremely slippy. It seemed to have a slimy feel to it and would probably be dangerous. I was unable to report this to st…

Not sure if anyone will have an answer but thought i'd try before a call. Whilst serving in the Army i had an injury to my right eye. This left me blind in this eye. My question is, i have been told via a recruitment day that the Met police will accept candidates for police officer with sight in only one eye (monovision), what i have recently noticed from above eyesight requirements is that certain surgery and detached retiner will possible end in termination of application. Are these issues refering to the, let's say the "working eye" or does it refer to both. Im asking because obviously if i have had these or similar to the good eye i would understand if rejected but…
