Hey everyone, been browsing the forums to see what general life as a police constable is like and i've found endless information about it which is brilliant. I'm 18 and definitely applying for Avon & Somerset police force at some point, but I would really like to get in as soon as I can. A friend of mine said that the force doesn't tend to take people under 20 because of how young they look, life experience ect.. Basically, if i were to apply now, would my chances of getting in be restricted by my age? Thanks. Sam3773

Medical research into my condition took its time and in August 2006 I underwent brain surgery.

Hi everyone. As my start date is June 4th, and is therefore rapidly approaching, I'd like to go and get some shoes from somewhere, but am stuck between 2 kinds..... Do I go for Doc. Martens type 'Parade' shoes for now, or, as I've seen many officers weraing on the beat, Hi Tec Magnum type 'Patrol Boots'?? As my passing out ceremony is only 2 weeks after I start, won't the Magnums look kind of, well, 'Industrial' given the importance of the occasion??

Hi, Does anyone know how long these checks take once you have passed the a/c? I am joining a force which is not my home county and have never lived there. Thanks
