Hi guys, Just a quick one. On your days off do you have to attend court? I have been told this from a few sources and was just wondering if anyone could shed some light on it? Cheers

i applied to be a Special constable last year and i was a conflict of interest because of my SIA licence, i dont know if any of you guys would know but if you do that would be great, my question is if i give up my sia licence and applied to be a special constable again and stated to them i am willing to give up my sia licence to progress a career as a police officer would i still be seen as a conflict of interest or do i have to wait like a few weeks of not working with the sia licence or something dont know how it works

Hi guys, I've just made it on to the Day 1 stage of the recruitment process, however I am worried about the London Residency criteria as I have lived extremely close to the border. I have lived in an SM6 postcode for 2/3 years which I know is definitely under London. However, just incase my previous address is required, this was a KT17 postcode. I know this comes under the LONDON borough of Kingston but it also came under the Surrey region??? Should I be worried or will parts of Surrey still come under Greater London? Thanks in advance... Joe.

Does anyone know if you have to have completed or nearly completed ckp before vetting starts? Thanks

Has anybody passed vetting who has had an immediate family member have any convictions, or have had convictions themselves (not the case here tho)? Any insight would be great because I'm pretty much left feeling like my father has just cost me this career, when I shouldn't be judged as a person based on his actions....

Hi everyone, I am currently finishing my honours year at university in Scotland and will have everything wrapped up by June, After which I would like to either join the police or start teacher training. After leaving the army in 2008 (and before starting my degree) I applied to the police and got invited to the initial interview, however, due to our(wife and I) childcare situation I decided not to attend. My question is, should I begin the process of applying for the police just now, are they likely to allow me to finish my degree or should I just hang off a little? I already have several interviews coming up for teacher training so I will soon be faced with a tough d…

Hi Guys, Anybody any experience of having to change the personal references they put on their initial application? My circumstances have changes and there's more appropriate references that I would like to substitute. Would this be considered or frowned upon by recruitment? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi all, Quick question, I was convicted of driving without insurance 3 years ago, a genuine unfortunate mistake but this is no excuse. Would this harm my chances of joining the police regardless of the job I am applying for and the location/district?

I'm in the process of applying to transfer to Herts, and I would appreciate any comments {be totally honest!} from serving and former Herts officers. In particular, shifts, work load, single crewing{thoughts?} and opportunites to apply for AFO role. Many thanks.

I've been told because of my pass mark I can apply to another force. Unfortunately HR department is closed,until after New Year Closing date is 31 December and it's an online application. If I put Yes I have applied within 6 months to another force then would they look at it. Tempted to put no and then explain if I get through. Thoughts please?
