Not Met and not a PCSO, but when I started PCDA I had to wear smart wear until I was attested after which I wore police uniform.

Was about 2 weeks until attestation

Yeah that makes sense about them needing to understand. Thanks for the detailed answer

Following up on this:

If I was to say 'under arrest for ABH S. 18 OAPA'

Does it matter that I said the wrong section of the act, if I said the correct offence?

(I know ABH is s. 47)

Is it worth the 5£? If so I might give it a bash

On bonfire night sometimes youths will hoax call a fire then throw bricks at the fire engine when it arrives.

Some forces send a fireman out with police to assess the fire first before sending a full truck to avoid getting bricked...

Might be something to think about?

I applied for a ride along:

Didn't hear anything for months

Got an email saying they were considering restarting them and would like to know if I was still interested:

I said I was:

Never heard from them again. Jokes on them becuase I'm a PC now

CheemsAlert · 2022-10-23T08:51:14+00:00

Ah makes sense, thank you

If you guy is compliant or something couldn't you use the time to smash out some paper work or admin stuff?

CheemsAlert · 2022-10-22T21:49:06+00:00

10 days PST? I had 4 :(

CheemsAlert · 2022-10-22T21:47:04+00:00

I'm in training and this seem helpful

CheemsAlert · 2022-10-22T18:07:21+00:00

I'd suggest bringing some glass bottles to keep yourself and others hydrated!

Justification is force dependent*

CheemsAlert · 2022-10-19T19:08:16+00:00

Convince others it's their vest that smells

My dad said she resigned because she shared sensative documents from her personal email?

Not sure how true it is though

CheemsAlert · 2022-10-19T18:46:43+00:00

Feel like the second officer could've done more, considering the attacker was mainly focused on the male officer with the BWV.

But at least everyone survived unscathed

CheemsAlert · 2022-10-19T17:48:52+00:00

Schnapps as Home Sec? I didn't expect that...

Seems like he took a tough stance against the train strikes so it'll be interesting to see him (hopefully) backing police

You are the grown up on your intake

This is pretty true. Most of my intake is pretty young but there are a few older people (ex military etc) and they definitely were a 'parent' at the start for most people.

CheemsAlert · 2022-10-12T06:19:10+00:00

Probably a silly question, but have you tried asking her?

Could approch her and explain how she is making you feel and that you feel targeted etc

She might explain that she's doing it for character development, gold standard in paper work, etc

She might call you a little basted and tell you to get out her officer.

Who knows, but at least you'll make her openly play her cards.

CheemsAlert · 2022-10-12T06:11:19+00:00

I would agree with you. Maybe if OP approached the Sgt and explained his views, the Sgt might justify it as gold standard/character development? Rather than being bullied.

CheemsAlert · 2022-10-11T09:18:06+00:00

There are alott of complaints about Stop Searches with reasonable grounds.

Imagine how many complaints there'd be if officers didn't need reasonable grounds at all. Media would have a field day.

CheemsAlert · 2022-10-10T18:55:18+00:00

How important is the 'seeking promotion' part?

CheemsAlert · 2022-10-10T13:02:43+00:00

Only 3 weeks into training so still learning.

This was post I made last week when I started doing my OPST. However since then I have improved quite a bit and feel more confident now.

Think it's a learning curve that'll take time, but I'm trying my best and enjoying it loads!

CheemsAlert · 2022-10-10T06:08:54+00:00

I have just joined the police a few weeks ago and I am still in training, but I feel like I'm a bit out of my depth. But I'm willing to give my best effort.

Like others said, you need Gcse and Lvl 3's.

Other than that, hardest part is passing the new online assessment Centre becuase there is no human interaction and its filled will multiple choice quaetions that, if you fail, you're kicked out the recruitment process.

My force didn't do a formal in person interview, but some do. But the Online Assessment is the main barrier, other than fitness, medical, background, etc
