The Police Application Thread

I'm partially interested in joining the police. However, neither surrey police nor the met are recruiting :(
 
Just wear trousers with a white shirt, and black tie :p

You can always gate-crash a funeral, should you fail the interview..
 
I think a suit is the way forward :)

You can always tkee of the top before and after going into the interview :)

Good luck Burnsy
 
They often ask if you wish to remove your jacket during an interview. They did with me but I politely declined as I was ok.

Until after the interview when I realised my pits were like the Hoover Dam.
 
Just a tip for the assessment centre, watch what you say to other candidates during the breaks as I've often heard they'll be listening to what people say both inside and outside of assessments. How true it is I don't know but I've heard it from different sources.

Best of luck to those who have their assessment centre coming up, be dressed to impress!

It is very true. Even during the lunch break, an Inspector was at the table and clearly listening to the conversation.

Also, don't crack any jokes. One lad on my assessment centre was binned as when he turned a card to do an ad-lib talk for 2 minutes he started with ... ' Can I phone a friend ? ' although clearly nervous and meant in good humour.

He was binned before lunch.

That's a bit OTT, surely?
 
Probably is but there is a time and a place for humour and jokes and a police application is not really the place for it.

Maybe that wasn't the only reason but it's something to think about.

....I hope to god they didn't do that at my assessment centre. Some of the humour was an aquired taste :eek:
 
I failed my interview by one bloody mark :mad:

After hearing the feedback I'm pretty annoyed with myself. I could have done so much better but thats all perfectly obvious now I know what they're after.

I can go for another interview in a month apparently. :mad::mad::mad:
