I'm, 20 years old and am currently in my third year of a university games design course, however, i cannot stand the thought of being stuck in an office all day staring at a screen trying to make sure a blade of grass looks realistic enough. Almost instantly after starting my course i had thoughts about joining the police, with aspirations to become a police dog handler, since i love animals but have not heard of any vacancies in the police tiger training units. i currently have a weight lifting routine that involves four sessions a week (chest, back and triceps day 1, legs abs and biceps day 2, etc) and i go on the treadmill at least once a day for the rest of the week s…

Anyone out there going for MDP, or been for it? I have my two day assessment in February and bricking it may be a fair word, although done lots of homework, so have every part of my body crossed!!

I found out today that I'm number 30 on the list, but what does that mean? Does anyone know how many go into an intake? I would phone personnel back (they left me a message), but they are horribly busy with a recruitment drive this week so I don't want to bother them. Thanks.

Do you often work in the town that you live or are you posted to a near town?

I was just wondering how much studying all of you tried to do before your assesment centre, i have mine tomorrow and im paranoid i havent done enough.

Does having astigmatism in one eye affect your chances of getting in the police? i went for a contact lens check up at the weekend and she said that my left eye has astigmatism

is what we'll become if they don't raise the standard for the fitness. Just had mine today and it was almost embarrassing watching some of the more unfit participants pull out of the beep-test before level 3!!!! How can a police officer be expected to make a foot chase in all his or her gear when the only thing they have to do is 5.4 on the bleep test? Im not having a go or trying to sound haughty - but taking that test has meant my admiration for the job has taken a bit of a knock. The sgt. afterwards even said how easy it was and that is was an achievement not to be proud of. Loughborough uni apparently have conducted research and have come to the conclusion that a …

I've done it!!!! I managed to get level 7 on the bleep test, 78kg on the push and 71kg on the pull. I wish everyone else good luck!

Hello there, I'm in my final year of a media degree course and have recently been considering a job in the police force because it seems like an intersting job with a secure income and other benefits such as promotion opportunities. Essex Police are accepting recruitment packs till 31 Jan 2007. Although I haven't completely made up my mind and will not graduate till June 2007 I am considering applying now so that I will not have to wait a year or so to join Essex Police. Is this jumping in head first or planning for the future?

Is anybody else that uses this forum a current applicant for Nottinghamshire Police? If so, doe's anybody know what the plan might be for pressing on with the current applicants who have passed thier assessment centre? Anyone heard anything other than rumors, with regards to when Nott's plan to have the next intakes from the current applicants? Any help will be gratefully appreciated.
