Interested to hear about any police officer medics out there. I know BTP London have some ‘police medics’, but not sure what this actually entails. How common is it for UK police officers to be dual-trained? Are those police medics qualified as EMTs or paramedics, or a lower band, like emergency care assistant?

A bit of help. I am looking at having a couple of Cathedral Constables train up as PST/OST instructors so that we can qualify officers in the south east of the country, as opposed to sending them to Liverpool as we currently do. I have purchased the equipment we need with a view to bringing Instructors from the north to deliver the training, but the next logical step it to have our own qualified instructors for the SE. Does anyone know the cost of the Instructors course, duration, any providers in the SE region?

Hi all, Wondering if anyone taking the exam in 2018 has a good schedule/revision timetable for revision? I used Police Pass last year and missed by 1% but I found it really useful to have a timetable. I havent seen one released this year for Blackstones so I'm just going off the free Police Pass one. Just curious to know if people have one?

Hello everyone, Can anyone steer me in the right direction as to the best Blackstone's Policing Manuals to go for in the case of a new student Police Constable? Is it worth buying all four or is there a specific one relating to IPLDP and new student Officers? There appears to be a lot of conflicting information. Thanks in advance

During another few discussions with friends, family and colleagues, we stumbled across the topic of CoP's Fast Track Programme for Serving Constables, so after having searched the current topics and being unable to find one similar, I thought I'd start one for discussion. Does anyone have any experience with this current scheme, whether it be as a candidate or as someone who has worked with one of the candidates? What are your experiences, and the pros/cons?
