This seems like a bit of a daft question really but I have my medical in the morning, and i'm not sure what to wear for it... is it formal or do you need to be in something which you can move in!!? I never recieved a letter explaining it as they called me with a cancellation date last Fri... anyone already attended? Cheers, Joanne

Hi I have just submitted my security form and i am waiting for my medical (been told this is a 9 month wait for WMP). I beleive at this stage they will contact my previous employers and personal references. I'm just wandering what exactly do they ask the personal references?

hey i rang up the recriutment today, they said i had a provisional date of the 12th or 13th of may i cant actually remember which it was now! i was wondering anyone else starting on that date? i wasnt told where i would be based though!

Hey! I have my medical this Wednesday, followed by my fitness test on the 23rd April, all being well, when do you think (approx) my start date will be?? I have heard there is an intake in May and August (GMP). What are my chances of starting in May? Cheers Jo

I received a letter on saturday from gmp recruitment, basically assuring me that i havent been forgotten and that i should be recieving a date for an interview shortly. It has me wondering how many must of apllied and what's the amount of manpower GMP are recruiting this year, or are they just covering normal loss of manpower i.e retirements and people leaving?

Hey all, As the topic states I have just got my assessment centre date on St Georges day! 23rd of April. (just under 7 weeks notice!) I have all the books ready, a DVD and a wonderful girlfriend who gives the occasional jolt up the backside if I start to slack off! I must admit I do find this all a bit scary but I am looking forward to the assessment centre. I'm treating it as my opportunity to shine! Anyone else Applying to Hampshire?

Hi All, I've recently found out that I have the MET A/C day 1 on 16th April. If I were to be successful can anyone tell me the sort of timings of the next stages etc? Anyone else going to this A/C on the 16th? Thanks

Next year i'm moving up to the north west to the Wigan area. I have a choice of GMP, Cheshire or Lancashire. I did a days attachment last week with Cheshire and GMP and whilst very impressed with Cheshire, was very let down by GMP. Nice officers (the blokes i worked with were top banana,) but really outdated kit and systems and there didn't seem any structure or guidance to the way they worked. However at the time of doing the attachment they were the only force actually accepting transferees. Cheshire won't until at least the 2nd half of 2008 and Lancs didnt know when. BUT today i got a call from Lancs, asking if i was still considering transferring, and they would lik…

Hello all! I'm dyslexic, and this often effects my spelling and grammar. I'm currently a serving member of police staff, I have been for over three years. My question is: If I do very well in the Interview, the role plays, but terrible in the English and maths part, will I fail instantly or can my overall score pull things back and get me through? I'm working hard on my maths and think that I'll do ok on that part, but I'm terrible with English. With out Word my handwriting is just readable but I often spell certain words slightly wrong and my grammer isn't always spot on. I have won awards for my current work; I have great refere…

HI guys. well i got my results today and it was a fail. I really am confused at the results though. First time i submitted it to Lancs, it passed with B overall (failed A/C) next time i sent it in it scorred A overall as i tweaked it a little (failed on spelling) but scored in the top 3% of all candidates. 6 months later i send the same exact form (SPELLING FIXED) into GMP and it fails with a C overall. There is a big difference beetween A and C. effective communication on both previous applications scored an A but scored C this time. Im beginning to feel its not ment to be. I thought i had a strong application, but this has knocked me for six. any thoughts wou…

I'm starting training with Glocs in 3 months, but currently dont have a licence. Do i need one before i start training? Dont want to ask the recruitment dept, as they might have assumed i do have one. Intensive driving course ahoy!

Hello, I'm planning to apply for the met but i have a few mild medical conditions that i'm concerned about. I don't want to spend all the time and energy applying and then fail the medical. Is there anyway to get this information so I don't have to go through a lot of disappointment later down the line.
