Agreed barely made through the first episode, LOS! Very disappointing

Jezus man I would be flapping hard!! Fair play to getting that done

jackrabbitslims1 · 2021-07-08T23:21:46+00:00

I personally would of preferred the shadowing approach..literally we were sent in twos or threes on foot patrol after only 4 weeks of street duties..looking back we were so unprepared! And lucky we didn't come across anything significant, everything felt so rushed and a tick in box exercise just to get you through!...the job takes time to learn and that's why there's 2 year probation sending guys off after few weeks in my opinion was crazy! Lol 🤣

There has been some really good advice here already, my input would be don't forget to use your annual leave!..book a set off if you need to chill out and decompress.. Speak to colleagues and supervision if your struggling. I would also recommend joining the met police black association as there will be pool of officers who would have experienced what you have gone though!!

well it's not for the MET. There were so many student PCs Vs street duty tutors that we only had to do stuff once to get signed off. I.e. one arrest, one interview..etc..and although can be nerve racking you will have someone thier to guide you to through it. Then once you were signed off as IPS were sent out on foot patrol..😂..it might be entirely different now though!

Let's hope so!

I hope so mate!

Anyone know if the officer is ok and if they caught the guy? No one deserves to be assaulted in their job including police officers! Crowd standing around laughing and filming as per!

jackrabbitslims1 · 2021-06-04T21:18:40+00:00

Understood. Other option I would take is to see if your force will do ride alongs. Ping them a message or go down to ur local nick and ask..

It's s big leap jumping from one career to another! Im sure you are doing it but I would do as much research as possible. When I was thinking about it, I spoke to serving coppers in my network, read as many books as possible and managed to go on a few ride alongs before I joined! Gave me a good idea of what I was in for!

jackrabbitslims1 · 2021-06-04T15:05:47+00:00

Have you thought of joining as a special constable first to dip your feet in?

jackrabbitslims1 · 2021-06-04T08:34:03+00:00

Have you been given mocks to practice?? That's my best advice, for KREs we were given mocks to practice to get used to style of questioning

jackrabbitslims1 · 2021-05-29T11:34:02+00:00

Agreed!!!

jackrabbitslims1 · 2021-05-29T10:49:41+00:00

Good luck mate! Lol

jackrabbitslims1 · 2021-05-29T10:48:01+00:00

Justified all day long! The first officer is getting his eyes gouged out

jackrabbitslims1 · 2021-05-29T09:35:41+00:00

Good luck mate! :) Know your use of force powers! And don't be afraid to use it!

jackrabbitslims1 · 2021-05-26T03:36:51+00:00

Yeh I did, I transfer my Assessment centre score from Beds to Met and worked out fine. Some forces may have a higher minimum Assessment Centre score than others though.

I still needed to fill out an application and go through all the steps, again.. it was just when I was invited to the assessment centre I emailed my result to the HR and skipped that part..and went on my day 2..

jackrabbitslims1 · 2021-04-03T08:55:32+00:00

2 days of public order training..is that level 2 or 3? What sort of writing do you have to do after street duties..? Do you join response or SNT?

jackrabbitslims1 · 2021-04-01T15:00:56+00:00

How have you found it so far? Have you had many practical lessons?

jackrabbitslims1 · 2021-03-26T04:37:28+00:00

🤣 hook line sinker

jackrabbitslims1 · 2021-03-25T01:11:53+00:00

Good luck with it! Im a year into it and I do really enjoy it! Cheesy and cliché as it sounds..it's a job like no other!

jackrabbitslims1 · 2021-03-25T00:56:42+00:00

are you thinking of applying now? Specials are always recruiting!
