Hello all, I am currently filling out my application for Herts and have made a few mistakes. I have not put my education and qualifications in the correct order i.e. what they ask for, from most recent to oldest. They are the only mistakes i have made and it was kind of due to me not reading it properly i guess, well more that for some stupid reason i did not think i needed to put my most recent ed and qualifications down (uni, which i have not finished). Do you think that this will effect my application? Apart from these mistakes i have made no more and i think my competency questions are solid. Any advice would be appreciated. Regards, MERRY CHRISTMAS! Rob

Hello, I am filling in my application and there isn't enough space for some of the sections to fill in my details. So i just attach a plain piece of paper as a continuation sheet or do i need to use a proper form or anything?? Thanks Matt

Hi This may sound completly stupid but I have just passed the met AC and am preparing for my day 2. I am absolutely dreading telling my bosses. To be fair they have been good to me and I am going to be taking quite a large wage drop to join the police. The thing is I want to secure my future and I have 2 yound kids. I want to know that I will be secure for the long run. When should I tell my employer? Should I wait till after my day 2 or now? I can honestly say im dreading it, has anyone else been in the same position? Carl

Hi all, Just checking to see if anyone is joining grampian police on the 12th January 2009?

I passed assessment for GMP recently and so the next stage is an interview then medical, fitness, security checks etc which could take another 12 months before I'd start.... However I spoke to the CNC today who said I could transfer my application to them and go straight to medical/fitness in the new year thereby skipping the interview stage and starting much sooner.... There are lots of pro's and con's with both so I'd like to hear what you think if anyone's got any advice or suggestions? Thanks

Got my AC next month for WMP,just wondering if any knows if the pass mark is still 50% overall and 50% for RRD.Thanks.

I recently got 57% on my day one assessment for the Met. They told me i can transfer my application over to another force who accept 50%. Has anyone got any idea how I go about this? Benp872008-12-15 20:54:16

hi there, i'm just about to apply to join the police service. However i'm worried about the medical. In the past i have suffered (for a few years) from depression and anxiety. Do the police always ask to see your doctors records? should i bring this up in the medical. however for the last 3 years i have attended university and have not had bad attendence (just time off for bereavment). I would love to do this job, and dont feel this past illness will affect me! what does everyone think, is likely to have a huge impact on my application? Has any one else had a issue like this? thanks

Hi guys, Sorry if this has already been posted elsewhere but I cant seem to find it.... Does anybody know the shift patterns / times for WMP?? Or is it different for different areas? I know im a while away from starting or even passing a/c but just curious... Thanks peeps p.s. Apologies if this is in the wrong part of the forum... Yorkbobbie :ph34r:

Hi All, Just wondering if anyone can give me some advice regarding the Assessment Centre & Interview for Grampian. What should I expect and how should I prepare for this? Also, I am new to the area so if anyone can give me advice with regards to actually being an officer or probationer, etc within Grampian Police, that would be much appreciated. Cheers

I am 36 and not in the best shape at 13 1/2 stone. Fitness test is Jan 5th, but Im getting in shape for the years AFTER that, not just for the test itself. I forked over a walletfull of cash to join the gym in Exeter half way through November and amazingly enough...I have actually BEEN! I worked out the bleep test is about 500m of actual running...so not too bad. I am running a hill profile on the treadmill...25 minutes at 10.5-12.5 kph, ramping up at the end. Doing chest presses, ab curls, tricep and bicep work plus latisimus exercises. Finally 20 lengths of the pool, followed by steam room, jacuzzi and a cold shower. I have been 12 days out of 14, probably contra…

Hi guys, I'm due to start soon, and it states if I must wear spectacles with plastic lenses. It also says there current advice is not to wear contact lenses whilst on operational duties. Is there any issues with wearing contact lenses whilst on duty!? I'm guessing the reason behind this is encase you get CS or similar in your eye! I've always worn contact lenses so they are second nature to me, but surely the issue of wearing plastic lenses with frames may also pose a problem incase you get into a physical confrontation. Does anybody else wear contact lenses? Thanks J.

Hi all sorry to post yet another useless message as i said i got my information through about the westshire centre etc and a list of the competisies (sp?) now to prepare for the interveiw would i just think of a scenareo that fits each of the atrget areas as mcuh as possible and try memories them? also i work for NHS direct and some of the exaples i may have covered but oviously it would of been over the phone would they frown upon these as they wouldnt be so face to face? thanks for reading
