I was just wondering what the educational requirments are for joining the police, would I need any specific type of qualification?

how do you apply to become one do you have to go thru the stages to become a reg then apply ?

Shame about the site peeps......... Anywho we soldier on. My post really is about my impatience !! And i wanted to know if any TVPers have had any news?? Maddie xxxxxx

Hey!! So i popped home at lunch to check the mail (as i have been for the past two weeks) and there it was a letter confirming that my provisional start date is the 4th Dec 2006 !! I have to do a pre employment fitness test on the 30th Oct too x Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! I am sooo happy!!!

Hey does anyone know when the bleep test is increasing from 5.4 to 8.2?? I understand it will be but the question is when? Suppose i better get jogging!

Hi all. Would like to know how long the process usually takes for people from application submission to the day they started work.

I've been considering a move to the Met for some time now and eventually got round to filling the forms in and sending them off six months ago, yesterday I got a job offer... Does anyone here, working in the met, know anyone that lives and commutes into work from Northants?

Does anyone have anything to offer, advice wise, on this (do you do it, do you know anyone who does etc etc?) I'm in 2 minds as to whether I should move or not, I don't mind the longer day, it's just whether it can be physically done!!

Does the 15 metre one reach a faster pace quicker than the 20 metre one, hence my naff result? Or does it just take more practice? I know the pass is now level 5.4 but there's now way I'm content with that! Let me know how far you can go....and be honest!

First time poster, so please forgive any (unintended) insults! Likewise, if this is the wrong forum to post as such, sorry! This has been posted elsewhere, but realised this forum might be a better seat... Anyway, i have recently received the application pack, and have booked myself in for an upcoming information evening for the role of PCSO. However, in all honesty, i have been more interested in being a police officer. I am in my late twenties with a military reservist background (including one tour as an infantry soldier in Basra last year, and kind of got decorated for actions there). I have been told many a time that i have the correct attitude and mentality fo…

Hi I was just wondering!!!!

Hello I posted a few days ago but it must have got removed. I need to know when Lancashire Police will be recruiting again. Considering posts about the BTP, I think I might have to transfer my application! I hope it is soon. Cheers

Hello, Please can somebody help me. After my fitness test I am due to have a medical where I know I will fail the sight test. Is it best to get laser surgery now, or wait until the medical and tell them I intend to have it. (a) would they wait until after that and the 6 week period. (B) would they just fail me and would I have to wait another 6 months again before applying.
