Hi there, everyone. I was wondering if there are any geographical requirements for joining a force (as in, do you have to live within x miles of your work?). I heard that officially there aren't any, but are there any unoffical guidelines? I live in Herts, by the way. Thanks.

Hi, Do you usually get told when security vetting is completed? I am starting in a couple of weeks, done everything else, induction evening, uniform fitting, had my ID done. Am i right to assume that it would have been done by now as i'm only 2 weeks away? Many thanks

Hi Guys, Well the day came and went for my A/C so i thought i would give feedback to those who have't had theirs yet. Below is a few things i wanna say i wish i could of done better. Hope this helps! Written Exercise: Wish i could of wrote a bit more. The first exam was a kick up the ###### because i made sure i was writing alot quicker the 2nd time.

So if i was to do it again i would ask more questions at the start Maths: Ran out of time on 3 questions Interview: Not much i can say. Straight forward Verbal Reasoning: Not my strong point, …

I've been given a date of December the 20th at 0900 for my fitness assessment. I'm just wondering who else has heard...........

I am 17 at the moment and 18 in June and I have got my assessment centre in April and I am worrying about my age. Will be a disadvantage to me? The positive action sergeant at West Mercia said it should make not difference because of age discrimination and all that, I have been a Police cadet for 2 years and work part time as a customer service assistant in a supermarket, she said they test to see if you have relevant experiences in the CBQ’s and I passed them with an A. I felt pretty lucky when West Mercia dropped the lower age limit to 17, but I can't be appointed until I am 18 because of working nigh shifts but the recruitment process takes about 12-15 months so I w…

Hi, I applied for NYP at the end of Jan and I had a letter from North Yorkshire yesterday saying that I had passed the initial papersift. Obviously I'm delighted, but after reading the letter further I'm a little unsure what the next stage is. The letter says that the next stage is the competency based assessment and that my application will be forwarded to a group of independant psychologists. It goes on to say that NYP don't have dates at the moment so don't ring Recruitment. The reason I am confused is that I thought I would hear once the whole application form had been marked? I am not entirely sure what I have passed so far? I wonder if anyone with experience o…

To cut a long story... Im currently a PCSO trying to get in the regs (see sig) I currently have a complaint against me. Apparently Im "harassing" somebody, only times Ive ever seen her is when shes been committing a driving offence and most the time I dealt with words of advice. Theres no weight behind it, but she refused a local resolution (she even complained about my Inspector when he attempted a local resolution!) so its gone to PSD. Will this affect my application? I know outstanding PSD complaints halt "internal" promotions and Specials that join the regs but what about a Police Staff role to a PC role? Thanks

Hi all I'm currently serving in the Royal Air Force and have been now for 5 years. I'm toying with the idea of joining the mob but I'm really not sure whether to go for it or not. I'm interested in going for Observer, CO19 or something to do with Counter Terrorism. I just don't want to be on the beat for the whole time, I realise that theres a probation period of 2 years (I think). Cheers guys Any replies welcome
