Anyone know if the CCRU from is assessed? Anyone else got a form as blank as mine?

Hello, I have made the decision now after careful consideration to apply to join the police force. I am just wondering if I fail a section do I have to redo all the parts next time or only the section I failed. Sorry if this has been posted before. Thanks

"Also, after you sit your SET you will get a question paper handed to you with around four questions, such as: Why do you want to be a police officer? What do think a police officer does on a day to day basis? Describe a recent event/achievement that you are proud of Indicate your qualities or what qualities a police officer should have? " Quotes from Policeuk.com, can anyone shed light on whether this paper is still active after sitting the Scottish SET's? ty

Hi, I am in the process of filling out my application and was wondering what the core compentencies were. I have tried searching for them but found various answers so I was hoping for some help here. Also, I would imagine that I should try to provide examples of said competencies within my applicaition.

I got the call today, 12.1 beep test level and average of 80kg push pull! There seems to be a lot of confusion regarding the beep test levels: I have put a list of all the speeds per level these last for about 45-50 seconds per level, the minimum standard is 5.4, and to some that may be hard to achieve if they haven't done any preparation! But a little bit of prep would get you a 5.4, what they made clear to us was that it was an "interview" and we had to impress! Take into account the "warm up" which had some people a little short of breath! L1 8.5km L2 9.0km L3 9.5km L4 10km L5 10.5km L6 11km L7 11.5km L8 12km L9 12.5 km L10 13km L11 13.5km L12…

I'm in the process of application and bearing in mind that later down the long road of recruitment, the police may contact my current employer for references etc. Although I have a reasonably good relationship with my boss I'm not 100% sure about letting him know yet. your thoughts??

hi everyone ! :) i am 19 and have applied to the police twice now and both times have been rejected for not having enough life experience, what type of full time job can i do to gain life experience whilst waiting to try and apply again ? thanks Kim

Hi everyone, Ive just sat my assessment for merseyside and now am worried i have failed the written tests. Am now looking back on what i did and think i may have made a couple of spelling mistakes, i no you need to reach the 44%(written) to pass but my question is this.... If you reach the 50% overall pass mark but fail the written test,can you apply to another force who will take your 50% pass mark ?? Ps Another 10 days to wait for result. Its a nightmare waiting game. Thanks everyone and best of luck to anyone going through the process.

Hey all, I have my event day on 14th September 2008, was just wondering if someone could spread a little light on the finance checks. I do have debts in the region of 15k from University, unemployment and helping my family out in hard times. I have kept most of them up to date but due to low pay and living costs have struggled. I know unless you show a senisble debt managment you will not be considered! If i joined a goverment funded debt managment company would this provide senisble debt managment or mean instantly i was no accepted. Any help would be great.

Hey all Just thought I'd let you know that I passed my fitness today with 8.4 on the bleep test and averaged 60ish on the push and pull (from what I remember heh) While no means great its still a pass. Now for the question. At the end we got a talking to about how our fitness wasn't great and how we all need to improve to avoid being embarassed once we start training. I realize its one of those things even if we had all been extremely fit they would have most likely said this - reasons being motivation to get better etc. I'm just wondering - what level of fitness should I be looking at for when training commences (I'm looking at a round about the 15th of september s…

Hello everyone, stumbled across this forum on google and found it quite helpful! Wondered if anyone could answer a couple of questions for me though, I am about to put my application into Strathclyde police and (all going well) will move onto the following recruitment stage’s but I have little knowledge of this “initial interview†and what takes place during it. I am aware I am getting ahead of myself but I just like knowing what I am up for. After completing the application successfully and being asked to undertake a fitness test it is to my understanding I will then undertake this interview, can anyone (preferably someone who has done it) tell me what takes place d…

I have finally made up my mind that I am going to apply to Met Pol Am currently working at the Highways Agency in the control room, which I hope will count as relevant experiance. I have also sorts of questions in my head, seriously worried that I won't be good enough either. This is a really girlie thing to say, but I am wondering if I am better off starting a family before I decide to join up. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, also interested to hearing an honest answer on what people think of the Traffic Wombles. Looking forward to hearing from you Emily

I'm really eager to join the force, it's been a dream of mine ever since I started school, but I fear I may not be accepted on certain grounds. Firstly, I'll quickly put out some positives. 1- Clean driving licence 2- No criminal convictions 3- Very fit 4- Very motivated 5- Street smart, work well with others and a willingness to improve in every aspect of my career. Now onto these potential pitfalls: 1- Family background- My father was caught driving while under the influence of alcohol and subsequently charged and banned for 18 months; My brother was accused of rape but charges were eventually dropped due to lack of evidence. 2- Finance- …

If I fail my final interview can I transfer my application to another force?
