Im sure that this topic has been discussed on here several times before but I am looking for some up to date information blokes/ladies who have done this recently or know someone that has. I'm currently serving in the infantry but I would like a change of career as a police officer. Long term I would like to progress into fire arms... counter terrorism... the special branch side of the police. The information I'm looking for is, Is it easy to go from the army to the police or is the process the same as it would be for a civilian ? Whilst on resettlement with the army are there any programmes/course specifically for those who wish to join the police? …

Hi, I am new to this but I thought maybe someone will be able to give me some advise as I am not sure where to turn to anymore . I have recently applied for a force and they require me to possess the CKP which is a level 3 qualification, I have obtained my Law degree recently and as far as I know that is a higher qualification . Therefore I am now confused as to whether I should give most of my wage for the CKP or just wait for another force to open recruitment window. Please also note I know 5 languages, have a degree no criminal record and already possess a 59% SEARCH score. Any advise will be much appreciated. Thank you …

Hi folks, Just new to the forum. I have recently sent my police officer application to Police Scotland. I am thinking of taking a career break/sabbatical to get myself in the best physical shape I can and to do some extensive role research. Do you think going on a career break/sabbatical would go against my application in any way? I obviously want to show full commitment and to get in the best physical shape. Thanks.

Submitted my application at the weekend there and while I'm excited I can't shake a feeling of complete dread. In November 2009 I signed a Trust Deed (Scottish equivalent of an IVA) and agreed to hand over the right to manage my finances to a Trustee for three years. You pay any income you have left once you've spent it on the basics and then you are discharged and remaining debt written off. I'm not proud of it - it was a tough time in my life. After a relationship breakdown where I was the sole name on any of our credit arrangements I started taking from one account to pay another, a spiral that I tried to stem the flow of by taking out a consolidation loan. I found…

Evening all, Just wondering if anyone can answer my question to clarify or if anyone has been in a similar situation before I call HR. I currently have an application in for the regs, however I would like to withdraw my application as a force closer to me is expected to open in the very near future and this would be more suitable. If I withdraw my application will I be eligible to apply to another force? As I would not have applied 'unsuccessfully' then does this mean I would not have to wait a period of 6 months?

Hi, so I have been given a start date on the 25th Jan however i have a 2 week holiday in June that has been pre-booked for months and I cannot afford to cancel. Antone know the chances of this being granted as post selection have said I will not find anything out until I get assigned a supervisor next month, but I am concerned as I cannot afford to leave my current job if I have to quit the police before I even start! Thanks!
