Hi, Does anybody have any idea what happens in regards to accomodation for training? I am moving from East Yorkshire so I'm a tad bit stressed about the move anyway! Do we found out our posting when we get offered a start date for training? I feel totally lost in the recruitment process to be honest. I have tried contacting HR a few rimes regarding this with no luck, I know they are taking loads on. Any ideas?

Got my email last night! Complete my CKP in a few weeks and in final stages of vetting so should all be done in time! Post below if you have also been given an offer for this intake

hi guys 2 weeks ago I went for my day 2, with one of my ears my hearing is bad, it was something that I have been aware for years, but it has never affected my life till now. when I was having the hearing test the doctor said my hearing was bad, and he was giving me another chance, on the second chance I did do well. but they stated I will still need to see a specialist for further checks for my hearing. its very frustrating as I don't want to lose my chance to start working as an officer due to this reason. next week I have my appointment, I just want to ask has anyone had this type of issue and what could be the outcome and options? thanks

Hi guys, Any of you lot got a date yet? I questioned HR and was told I was on for May which I'm told is the 25th. No formal offer yet though x

Does anyone know how the overall mark for the SEARCH assessment is calculated? I achieved 57% for Working With Others, 100% for both Oral and Written Communication but my overall score was 59% I need an overall score of 60% for my chosen force, Avon & Somerset. Any response would be greatly appreciated.

I'm from Melbourne, Australia, and I was wondering what it would be like to move to the Metropolitan Police after working for Victoria Police for a while. What would the biggest differences be? I'm sure there are endless answers, but is it a bad idea? (I have taken moving around the world to another country into account but that's all sorted.)

Hey guys, applied for met, borough prefs in west London region. Just wondering, I really want to learn Arabic and have found a college that does weekend classes on saturdays for roughly 3-4hrs each time. Can I manage being a probationer and taking part in these classes? Or should I just wait until my first 2 years is over? Thanks in advance!!

Hi Guys and gals, I will start this off by saying I've searched the forum and couldn't find the answer to what im looking for anywhere so if this is in the wrong place I apologise. Im doing an external ckp at my local college and have a start date with the met for march. Ive got my last exam for my ckp on Monday and im just wondering if anyone out there can give me some insight into how long it will be before I get the certificate or qualification in my hands? or some sort of confirmation that ive passed that the Met will accept as confirmation of a pass. Ive asked at my college and even they aren't sure so I thought I would try here. Any help is much appreciated. C…

Is anybody aware if the KEE exams are multiple choice or written answers? Many thanks in advance

Just wondering if anyone has applied for the Police but was born outside the UK? I'm originally from Canada and have been asked to supply a Certificate of Good Conduct from Canada. I've passed my SET's, initial fitness test and first interview. However, in order to be invited to the Assessment Day - I need to provide the above certificate. I've had a look and it seems like such a long process in obtaining it. Just wondering if anyone else has had to provide one and what was their experience. Thank you in advance.

Ladies & Gents, At the moment i am in the process of considering all my options. I'm trying to draw together a plan A, B & C for a 3 yr plan & 10 yr plan for my future movements. I've looked through recruitment criteria for a couple of different forces and there are simmilarities in regards to recruitment when members of the Armed Forces are brought into the question: "Resettlement periods for members of the services can be as much as 18 months. Therefore, police forces may want to consider this before accepting applications from service personnel, if they have more than 12 months before their discharge" Does this imply that consideration is only given to …
