my sickness is quite high after working in a medium secure unit with challenging behavior also went through a period of bullying and harassment. i have to declare these, do you think it will go against me. total hours is 1260 from '06 to '08 but had 6 months sick with injury which had physio for. total hours genuine sickness is 89.0. is this ok? i spoke to essex police and they said they need a copy of my absences and they judge on an individual basis. any comments, suggestions welcome. oh, and i passed the assessment centre just waiting on physical so you can imagine how frustrated i am knowing that this could mess me up........ cheers

Hi All. I have a A/C in April. Looking for some advice. I am 37 been trying to get in police since i was 18. Served 9 years with Special constabulary 90-91. What can i expect on A/C? What percentage of the marks are based on the tests, my weakest subjects is math, would i be able to make up marks with in the A/C? Any advice in this would be greatly appreciated. Wayne.

Anybody Going to the A/C day 6th june at ryton?? Am i the only one worried about the role plays??

I understand that as part of the IPLDP training scheme, unit two involves a week's community placement. Can you tell me what's involved in this and possibly share some of your own experiences? Thanks, Dave.

I didn't get the police staff job I'd applied for. I'm pretty gutted. Is it okay to phone up and ask for some feedback? I thought I might do this in a day or so when I feel a bit better. Also, does anyone know if being knocked back for a police staff job would have a negative bearing on a police officer application? It's for the same force, I've held off applying until I knew the outcome of the staff job. I'm thinking I might temp for a bit while I go through the application process. Would this be okay? Who would I state as my last employer on the form - the agency, whichever company I'm contracted to or my last permanent employer? Thanks

I have failed again, at the strength test, but I can just about push and pull 40kg at the Gym..... so I'm not sure what's going on!! Does any one know if there is a Dyno machine in derbyshire or staffs that I can have a practice on??? Derbyshire can't do me a practice run because of staffing problems :-( I would be extremely grateful for any help! xx

Any advice please?? I am being bullied by my new supervision, being constantly picked on and feel so worthless...making me feel awful.What shall i do??

Has anyone had a call from GMP about an October start date? I spoke to recruitment a week after my medical and was told I'd probably be on the October intake and would be getting a call in the next few weeks to confirm...That was 2 weeks ago. Anyone in the same boat?

Hi I joined the police as a constable 6 months ago. So far I have had 4 weeks on patrol with a tutor and the rest of the time has been at collge. When I joined I thought I would love every second of what I would be doing but something is holding me back. I appreciate that I have only done 4 weeks patrol with a tutor but I'm a bag of nerves! Wondering whats around the corner for me. When something happens I am not affraid to get invloved and I don't stand back and watch. Saying this I find that as soon as anything happens I get the shakes. Some of my concerns are because I don't know all the forms, have not dealt with much conflict yet. Am I alone? Is it because I'm new t…

Hi all, just thought I'd pen an update. I finished training last week. I have a week enforced leave and begin at my station/tutor unit next Monday. 17 weeks is a long time, but at this end it seems to have flown by. Looking forward to the next phase. Good luck to those still in the sausage factory.
