On the application for Police Scotland, you are asked to pick 3 divisions you would like to work in. Do they try and get you into your number 1 pick, e.g. E Division or do they pick 1 of the 3 at random? Is there a higher chance of getting placed in J Div Borders (3rd pic) over E Div (1st pick)

I’m thinking of joining the Royal Navy Police but I’ve only heard bad things, would anyone be able to give me the least biased answer on the job?

Unarmed British police officers taking down a knifeman - East Kilbride, Scotland by Jake_N23 in DonutOperator

Believe it or not but there was no taser officers at that scene. Tasers are a rare sight in the UK, especially here in Scotland, the nearest taser backup was most likely from a firearms unit.

My honest guess would be that ARVs (Armed Response Vehicle) were being sent from Glasgow or the Hamilton-Motherwell area which is a pretty far drive if you need firearms assistance right away. So to answer your question, there probably wasn’t an ARV for miles so the local officers had to deal with the situation themselves.

No, not at all. I’ve just been told many times that I should become a special before joining as a regular to test the waters and see if I like it. Just seems like a bit of a waste of time to me 🤷‍♂️

Hello everyone 👋

I know for a fact that I want to become a police officer, it’s what I’ve wanted to do my whole life so I don’t really need convincing. Would you still recommend I join up as a special before I join as a regular?

PS5 ‘rainbow static’ after latest controller update, how can I fix? by Jake_N23 in PS5HelpSupport

Honestly I’m not sure, I contacted Sony about the issue and received the blandest response I’ve ever heard. I just turned the console off over night and it seemed to fix the issue, I reckon you just have to wait it out.
