The Police Application Thread

I am at college at mom.. A Levels..

when I finish in June I want to take a gap year

Can I apply for the force this year...?

or not?

and what can I do to gain experience etc...??
 
I thought i'd post just because i'm a huge fan on the police.
Step-dad is in a pro-active squad, and everytime i'm back on the mainland, he arranges "police observer" days - ie. I have to wear a police observer jacket, but get to go out for a shift with some PCs. Best days i've ever had - one with a fast response vehicle, and another on a drugs raid.

Awesome
 
I'm jealous, i'd quite happily go on them every day and not get paid. Have that as a job. It's a huge adrenaline rush being in the car when you're chasing a stolen car, handbraking around corners etc.!

Keep us updated on that. I'm thinking about possibly sending an application to join Kent Special Constabulary soon.

Let us know how you get on. How did you manage to go on an observer shift?
I don't think Kent police allow it unfortunately. :(

All application forms are on the kent police website, download them, print and fill them out from there :)

Do they not need to sort out like insurnace and loads of paper work to be able to let you come along?

You'd be in for a shock mate.

Police driving is scrutinised more than ever now and if you were to use a handbrake around corners you would be chastised massively and I mean up for careless / dangerous driving not to mention a visit from Professional Standards for disciplinary action.
 
went to the open evening and they were so helpful with all queiries and question about the application, we alos got some good insight to the job and peoples stories and indepth inot training and stuff

Nice. How many people were there?
Do you know how long the whole recruitment process usually takes?
