So I want to apply for the Police force.

North Yorkshire arn't at recruiting at the min, West Yorkshire are and I've heard they're a little easier to get into and a bit more interesting. York is a fairly quite place although North Yorkshire is the biggest county in the land.

I live in North Yorkshire, York actually.

Should I wait for NYP to recruit again or apply now for WYP ?

You can only apply to 1 force at a time, applications take approx 4-6months for you to hear andything back.

What would you do ?
 
If it's what you want I'd apply now no point in waiting! I always thought it would be best not to be a policeman in your local area don't want to be forced to bust your mates or anything.
 
It's Police Service these days; they aren't a force. It's part of the improvements that saw people being treated as "customers", aiming to improve the service that's provided, etc etc.

I know it sounds petty, but if you want to apply to the Police you really do need to know the basics first.

Well that sounds like a useful way to spend three years and x thousands of pounds. Becoming a police man afterwards?

Sorry i mean police officer. :)

Does that mean I can sue them for false advertising? Around here they offer no service whatsoever. I live no more than 5 mins away from Stoke police station, yet it took them 4 hours to respond to a 999 call when we were faced with two knife weilding thugs burgling our house.
 
I'm applying to Cheshire at the moment - Interview day in 3 weeks! :o

Have a think about what kind of constabulary you want to join. Larger city-based forces generally have more opportunities - firearms, CID and so on, while rural ones are generally safer, maybe a bit more easy-going. You get the idea.

Cheshire looked ideal for me because (as well as location in the country) I dislike large cities - big fan of the countryside, me - but like the idea of being in an area with ports, as I'm interested in being a sniffer-dog officer later on :)

Are your mates in high risk of getting busted ?

I read that last bit as you want to be a sniffer dog later on, missed out the officer bit :o
 
Is it true that there's a point on a man's head where if you shoot it, it will blow up?
