Hiya, I know theres not many people on here applying for north wales police but just after a bit of info on training. I read on the nwp wesite that training will take place at police headquarters, which i gather is colwyn bay.

hi guys, well letter come through with security information thats required off me and also a loverly little letter regarding my fitness and medical next wed 1.10.08.

I have my Day1 tomorrow and I have yet to fill in the Met's skills form, as I am unsure if I should. One of the questions on there is, "please demonstrate any insight, knowledge or experience of the issues associated with under-representation within the area of RACE/ETHNICITY" The same question is also for Disability, Gender and Sexual Orientation. I have had no direct experience with these issues being a straight, white male but I really don't want to leave them all blank. Did anyone else on here fill those forms in for the Met and how did you go about it. Thanks -Adam

* Rant Warning * Ok, I have just got off the phone with recruitment. Now according to them at this present time my appliaction has failed, here is a little story... I applied on the 6th May and spoke to recruitment on the 25th June, at that point I was informed that the application had passed and I was awaiting my Day 1 date. Having not heard from them for another 2 months, I spoke to someone in recruitment who I know personally, they did a little digging around and informed me that the application had gone missing. At that point, I was asked to resubmit my personal details on a new form and not worry with the CBQ's as they had already been marked. Having just spok…

On to the vetting process now and I found out my Mum got charged with breach of the peace 15 years ago for a silly argument with a neighbour, it went to court but she was admonished and the PF threw it out. How do I stand?

What are the realities of working for the Met. I know the biggest plus has got to be the bigger salary. Which leads to another point, why is the Met London weighting so high? It seems as though the majoirty of Met officers don't even live in London so therfore most will just be getting an exta 6k compared to county forces. Is there a high drop out rate for the Met, and they are trying to encourage people to stay? Someone I know was chatting with a member of D&C Police Authority, who also is on the national board or something. But he was quite unencouraging about joining the Met, asking what type of person I was as "the Met has a very aggressive style of policing…

Failed my A/c for the met last month but was suprised yesterday to get a letter offering me a PCSO role. I've done some reading up on PCSO's so know what that involves, but wondered if anyone though it would be worthwhile doing this? It says after a year in the role I could apply to be a PC, which ultimately I want to do, but would I be better to bide my time and re-apply for the PC role in 6 months instead? Any advice welcome, anyone in the same situation?

Hello! So excited as I have only the fitness and medical test to go (fitness in November and medical in January) then if I pass I'll be a Student PC for Northamptonshire!!! I was wondering on any recommendations for kit that I can buy/ask for Christmas? For example-recommended torches, first aid kit, socks (strange, but I've found some awesome socks in M&S padded and marked for left and right foot!) I'm easily impressed.... Thanks :-)

I know that throughout the Assessment Day you will be tested on all 7 competencies, But its only in the interview where you have to talk about 4 of them. Do you find out beforehand what the 4 will be? are they the same as the ones asked in the application? if so you could just adjust the answers already written Or do you have to revise a suitable answer for all 7 as you don't know what the 4 asked might be.

Hi I'm hoping that someone can help me by explaining s17, s18 and s19 in a nice simplistic way! any help appreciated Cheers Carter
