Yup thats me. over 140 days now waiting on my vetting to clear! been told since May "its in research", "this usually takes time" the lady on the phone today was so obviously feeling bad because she knows how long im waiting and I can tell she remembers me. OK, what the hell is this? I don't think anyone has waited this long for their vetting to clear. So annoying that I done the language assessment last month and was reassured of an early start date, problem is time has went by and start dates are getting filled up, and im still stuck im so ticked off. Can someone tell me the contact email for the Met's Commissioner Sir Bernard, I sent him an email but I want to mak…

Hi all My husband is severely dyslexic (diagnosed a year ago) and is on day 2 of being at his borough on coached patrol. He had extra time for exams during police training and passed all except one which he passed after a retake. Now he is out on borough the reality of the paperwork / pressure of having to know lots is starting to hit home and he cannot bury his head any longer. He told me this morning about the above and has said he wants to resign asap. I am worried about the following: A. He might regret this decision. B. He should at least get reasonable adjustments sorted before deciding. C. What reasonable adjustments are possible in reality? D. Is the job …

Hi, I have came across opportunities with the CNC, and the BTP. I have no idea who to go for. Both relate to what I want, that being: A role that serves a specific purpose with an overall aim to keep people safe. I understand in the BTP I will be in the public eye, and somewhat more active etc... however, the CNC still undertake an important duty to protect others despite hardly being out in the public eye, or even making an arrest. They serve a very important role to protect Nuclear facilities, and materials, which does appeal to me. I would be put off the CNC if it was ''stand their all day until it's time to go'', but to my understanding the CNC regularly patrol thei…

Hi guys Just wondering if anyone has been notified for fitness & SET in September?

Some of you may have seen my other tread as I would like to be a PC one day. But I am posting on behalf of a friend. He has concerns over his medical with Durham as he has been successful so far to become a PC. He had 3 months off with sickness this time last year with his back. Looking at Northumbria they do not except people with sickness records in past few years or so. I just can't seem to find anything about Durham Medical Policy on previous sickness although I have tried very hard. Can anyone shed anylight on the subject? TIA

Police Officer Intakes 2015/2016 Thought I'd start a new thread to find out how many people are in same position as me and waiting for a 2015/2016 intake, or at the pre-employment stages ? Any other info relating to 2015/2016 Police Officer Intakes/budgets/relevant updates of new Police Officer recruitment within Northumbria would be welcomed on this thread too.

Hi all, I'm new to this forum so go easy☺. I'm currently in Army but hope to be a Police Officer one day. Some of you may be aware that when you discharge from the Military you are entitled to some form of resettlement. So, earlier today I was looking at potential courses and 'Knowledge in Policing' was one of them. Can anybody kindly lend any advice or even a 'don't do it'. I except that is no means a guarantee to get into a force and also understand that some forces prefer protential recruits to have 'knowledge of Policing' others not so much. I have seen one of these courses for £800 and is distance learning online and over 12 months, which works out perfectly as …

Hi folks Been thinking about applying for a long time and finally decided it is now or never. It might well be never though as I've just read through the medical screening guidance (http://www.gov.scot/Topics/Justice/policies/police-fire-rescue/police-scotland/Circulars/2004/Circular-18) and on this is a condition I have is listed as 'Likely Unsuitable'. Does anyone have any experience of applying and being successful when they have a condition which is marked like this? Gutted as I thought that as the condition is dormant and no longer needs attention nor is likely to in the future would have made it be assessed on an individual basis but after reading this, I thin…

Just wondering how they score an application form? What is the format and how do you hit the relevant points to score big?

Hi All, Just wanted to see if anyone else is currently in line for October or maybe September intakes at Tulliallan. Also if anyone has advice about college in any way then that would be greatly appreciated. I'm looking to kill some time at home so suggestions of books to read or topics to look up could help me. I just have vetting to do (in progress) then final fitness and uniform fitting is all thats left. (first fitness was in May) Cheers!
