How come West Midlands are using a completely different test as comparted to the rest of country? West Mids uses the assault course which granted gives a better picture of fitness but everyone else is using the Home Office method of the bleep tests. Seems a little unfair if everyone else joining is suing a different standard. Thought everyone had to use the same test?scousemouse2008-02-08 10:16:43

Hiya, just to confirm is the bleep test a 15 or 20 metre track?

Hi guys, does anybody know if there is a copy of the Westshire Centre welcome pack in the role play room that you can refer to during the interaction? for example if you want to discuss the equality policy statement and code of conduct etc Many thanks, Nikki

I have now passed everything for Derbyshire, the physical on the 1st and medical on the 15th of July. I phoned resources today and they said they just need my security checks and it could take 10-12 weeks from my physical date. Anyone else in the same position? Will I only recieve an offer of acceptance once all this is done? I just want conformation.

i haev never had any medication or seen a psychologist,m but in the past i have been to the doctor regarding anxiety, not general anxiety but anxiety about something specific that would in no way interfere with any kind of police work, would this be an issue, as on the form it has suffered from depression/anxiety, i haven't had general anxiety or deppression, and then another question is mental illness, although it has been a mental issue i don't think it is an illness at all, doesn't interfere with my life at all, would any of this be a problem and do i tick the no boxes on the form?

Hi, I'm new to this and wondering if anyone can help? I'm 22 and amazingly passed my first Assesment Centre in March and then my fitness test at the end of April. Despite telling everyone I had no chance to get in D&C, especially not near my hometown and not at my age. Now delighted to go against all that and chomping at the bit to start. Does anyone know of any intake or start dates for the 6 month trainig for people on the Plymouth waiting list? Bit nervous now that I am so close and recieved my letter to say that I have completed the recruitment process and I am on the waiting list! Still can't believe it! All lays on my final reference off my current employ…

Hey guys!! anyone else got their Met A/C this sat(2nd Aug?) im so nervous! :smiley_vomit: any last hints or tips for me? Thanks Nikki

Hi all, I got my application in on time etc (final date was noon on Monday 28th July) and I am wondering when I will hear if I have passed that part of the process. Im bricking it that I may not pass! I go on hols 18th August, will the result be back by then? Also, what is the next step in the process IF I DO pass the application process. I know all forces are different. How long does the recruitment period take? I have applied to West Mercia. Thanks Luke

Hi everyone. Im 16 and im thinking of joining the police or even the Ministry of Defence police if possible, when im 18. And I want to know if having asthma would stop me from joining ??, but my asthma is only very mild. And would having a stammer cause any problems either ?? Thanks in advance! -conory

Today it came... I mean its still provisional but its exciting filling out your bank details, pension etc etc its good to think my next letter from the police should be saying all final security checks are complete and i'll have a solid job offer :o) its so exciting lol

hi, ive just turned 18 and i applied to the nottinghamshire police force to be a PCSO. i studied hard for it and i got through to the interview and i passed!. i now have my medical next week,im not worried about the test at all, as i play a lot of sport and keep myself fit.i was just wondering what to wear? i dont want to turn up too casual and give a bad impression. should i wear a suit and put my shorts in a bag? or just go in my sports wear for the fitness test which is on the same day?. Help would be much appreciated thanks, James

Hey, This is my 1st post and I'm in need of your help! Please spare me 5 mins. I'm 22, 23 in a month and looking to join the Met. Though I live in North Yorkshire at the moment my Dad and Uncle both started in the Met and suggested that it's the only place for a young man to begin their career... In any case I won't bore you guys with that. In the conditions of selection I read that poor credit can be a problem.... Last year I had a run in with the Inland Revenue, it all stems from when I was 19 I worked as a self employed electricians mate, being very young and that being my 2nd job I wasn't very familiar with the workings of this and didn't return 3 tax return forms…

Finally got my MET start date, Monday 8th September 08, anyone else starting on this date? Just got to make my final borough selection but recruitment told me all boroughs are available so I think I'll be off to Westminster!

Did my a/c at Sussex yesterday...I know you have to wait 6 months to re-apply. Is that any force....for instance can I know apply for the BTP or six months applying for anything?
