I have just completed and submitted my application to Dyfed-Powys. Read and re-read my completed application what seems like 50+ times, almost developed an OCD from it! Took a lot of work and preperation, lets hope it pays off. Anyone else applying or working for Dyfed-Powys?

Hi all, Just thought I would mention I have my day 1 pack received yesterday and a date for 9th Feb 2009, I was at the 13th July IBIS event and have been patiently waiting. Lots to read through so glad I have a couple of months to prepare, I don't believe if successful I'll be in by March as stated at the IBIS event though?. Hope others attending the IBIS hear soon if not already. Good Luck all

I'm so so sorry if this has already been covered so many times, i just couldnt find a definate answer anywhere. In the Met, for your day 2, do they stop you during the bleep test at 5.4 or do they ask you to go as far as you can? Thanks alot! L

Hi All, I have just received the break down of my day 1 scores and was just wondering how they reach your final score. For those who have had their results back you will know that they are graded A-D and for each you are given scores 3-0. Do they add then up and then use that figure for the percentage or do they do it some other way....? I thought I'd give it a try here first incase someone could enlighten me. Thanks in advance APB

Hi, I am just wondering why does everyone want to join the police force? What are your motivations for joining? Is it for more satisfaction? variety? to help the community? etc I am just intrigued as i am soon to start with the police and i am really excited. Since leaving uni i have had to endure a number of jobs i have really not enjoyed and joining the police is something i have wanted to do since a young age. The satisfaction of helping people and preventing crime is the biggest reason for my career change. Cheers everyone, Answers on a postcard.........

Hello, I got my results through the post today for a PCSO and; Overall Pass 44% RRD 58% Oral Communication 84% Written Communication 50% D in R/D = No Overall pass required 50%. So I passed everything as requirement for RRD was 50%, oral 50% and written 33% yet my overall 44%? How did they work that out? Should I appeal?
