Just a quick question, can our warrant cards be kept in an appropriate ID sleeve in a wallet or do they have to be kept in a seperate/specific 'warrant wallet'? Only ask because it's time for a new wallet and figured I might as well get on with an ID section if appropriate......... thanks

The police officer training with BTP, is it residential? Or is the training done in house?

Hi, I have been considering joining the force for awhile and have started preparing for joining....going to the gym and all that! But all the time i have self doubt about whether or not i can actually do the job at all and will be able to cope with all that comes with the job as well...all i was wondering is if any of you had been through this and if you did anything that helped! Any advice would be extremely helpfull....thanks!

I recently had my assessment and I’m going through that dreaded waiting stage….. The longer I wait, the more I seem to doubt myself and I am adamant I have failed! Everything seemed to be going well until the roleplays. On one of them I completely got the wrong end of the stick. I challenged issues that had been raised about using derogatory terms and how they were unacceptable and offered resolutions but never addressed them in a personal manner, such as asking, “who the derogatory terms were directed at?†Does anyone think that will constitute to a D and therefore a fail in RR&D? Does anyone know how much you have to miss the issue in regards to RR&D …

Passed fitness today for GMP. They stopped us at 5.4 and I got 54 on push and 71 on pull. Need to keep up the training now ready for when I start. Hopfully Jan 8th still. That is what they were saying today anyway.

Passed Assesment Center with 70% Waiting for Fitness date and Medical Very excited!

I have been grappling with the usual question of which brand of boot to purchase. I know this is a divisive subject and I think I have found the most comprehensive guide on the subject on Altbergs home page under company history (you have to scroll down quite a bit) Altberg very generously discuss all the major brands and the benefits. http://www.altberg.co.uk/ I am currently torn between altbergs peacekeeper P1 and the Lowa Patrol Boot (formerly the Super Camp minus the the goretex lining) and the Lowa Taskforce Seeker DryBest (which seems both smarter as the eyelets are higher up and more versatile). I almost dare not ask but if anyone has any views on the boots …

Has anyone out there started their Police Application with one force and then transferred their application to another? How was the process of the force the application was transferred to compared to that of the one they transferred from, and did everything get transferred properly such as PNAC results etc. Salsoul2006-10-30 18:18:16

Just found this site and thought Id post as Im in a situation thats really getting me down at the mo. I've wanted to be a pc for some time, did the whole uni thing and all that didnt interest me. When I applied as a pc last January I got back from recruitment a letter and an application form for the pcso role. To be honest I know with the force I applied I could be waiting 18-24 months for appointment as a pc if I was successful, and there was always the chance I would fail and have to wait longer. This combined with the fact I was a bit stuck in a rut with my then current employment I thought Id apply for both. Im in my first week of pcso training and I think I've m…

Whats the urine test for and how long does it take for results?

I understand that for the first 3 weeks at hendon recruits are required to wear smart attire etc, as uniforms are not issued until 4th week. Does that mean a suit and tie? or trousers and a blazer with/out a tie? Cheers
