PSNI Recruitment - Stage 2 - The Assessment Centre

Yeah guess work but an educated guess at that from experience. It's impossible to know exact numbers but surely there wouldn't be too many scoring in the A* cat or else the process would be flawed, as it's the highest grade they can give.

Interesting to see how many actually get letters or calls. Better up the fitness regime....

Anyone any news yet? I'm hoping this week brings some sort of info..

Really? That's not ideal. Surely they can send out vetting forms and get physicals out of the way while they exhaust the merit list, or is that wishful thinking?

That seems completely illogical as they'll be having to start PCA etc from late March/April say and won't have anyone able to start until ALL stages including online learning & vetting.

The 2013 campaign will cease at the end of this tax year as has been confirmed by press releases IIRC.

Can see those with say 77% up (obviously a guess), getting vetting & invite to familiarisation really soon - with the latter given a month or so notice & PCA roughly a month after that.

Could have medicals and online learning completed for April and a squad ready to saunter on in to GV.

Clearly its just what i think. And il stick by that,

If you start hoping for something next week etc and waiting on postman everyday, you are in for a long long wait, trust me, the waiting has put so many people off campaign 1, i waited 6 months for my pca date and vetting forms.

Just keep it at the back of your mind and get on with what you gota do.

I think vetting forms for campaign 2 will need to go out in the next month or so

However I would definitely echo what daveni has said about waiting for the post man

This is the most long, drawn out and often illogical process I have ever been a part of

Second guessing dates, times, scores, numbers is nigh on impossible

Just ask those remaining in campaign 1

Keep calm, by all means get/keep yourself in shape in anticipation of a call

I got my AC results in january I think it was, and it was May before I got vetting forms and that was before there were funding issues to contend with

Was wondering guy's, I have passed my AC with a score of 79 % and am a relatively fit male. If you pass the AC, PCA, Medical and Vetting are you then pretty much in? I don't understand some stories I have been told where people pass everything but don't get recruited at the end of it all. Just want a bit of clarity on the matter, if I am so lucky to get that far and pass everything should I still be unsure of a job or at least a little positive that I might be recruited?

If you read through the waiting list thread there are several people who have completed and passed all the stages

They are now just waiting on an offer, the problem being with the current financial constraints each intake is being processed on an individual basis depending on funding.

Sadly there is a possibility you could complete all the stages and not get an offer solely because of the budget

Hopefully this is not the case.

So Iv been reading the posts over the last few days, AC score of 74, would I be sat in the top bracket or average ?

If campaign 1 (1309) is anything to go by, and I know at this moment in time, funding is up in the air etc for us in campaign 2 (1405), but if we are going by campaign 1 with time scales etc you would be top bracket, I think the third squad maybe 4th was made up of 74's for 1309, hard to say though as Suzuka said, I would imagine you will be potentially receiving vetting forms when the first batch of forms head out, which should be relatively soon, take what I say with a pinch of salt mind you as its all assumption on my part. With all the lack of clarity regarding us, who knows what the score is and where we all stand.

Has anyone got a link to where it was said that the numbers for 1405 were down to 100? I was just reading the CC's report to policing board from October and it simply says that:

'Competition two, which is currently running, will continue as the majority of the budgeted spend has already been invested. The intake of new officers will however be substantially slower. The plans for a third recruitment competition have been stopped.'

Sorry if that has been asked before but i'd just like to read a bit more about the reduction to 100 rather than 378 odd.
Thanks

This article on the BBC news website mentioned the reduction in recruits to 100, was taken from the December policing board meeting in public
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-30333080

Be interesting if they amend this with any new money after the January monitoring round, probably announce something at the next policing board meeting (February)

I'm near sure I read somewhere that the PM/SOS said that any additional money must safeguard policing/health aswell with the Stormont Agreement, don't take my word for that though I can't place my hand on the article ATM. Plus there's always a possibility the CC is just scare mongering about lower numbers like the department ministers are to secure additional funding but tbh who knows! Lol

From anyone I know who has passed out, all of one lol, neighbourhood policing is where folks are going not like before where it was response, neighbourhood and community policing is shot so seems everyone is heading there for the 2 years during probation for the mean time anyway, again I'm only going on what I have been told lol

Service first dictates that you should do 10 weeks neighbourhood, 10 weeks response and 10 weeks case progression team

Unsure whether the case progression team part is carrying on as it is just in belfast not service wide as first planned

Got a couple of mates finishing up their first 10 weeks NPT in couple of weeks to go into response

Some people started in response and should be moving to NPT

Thanks for all your help guys! Just the waiting game now I suppose. Any ideas as to when the vetting forms and PCA invite dates will begin to roll out?

I would imagine soon mate, for those that would be processed first it would have to be soon, May is the start of the intakes for 1405 as the chief said on his twitter Q and A at the start of December. So I would say within the next week, 2 at a max, for there to be enough time to process vetting, physicals, medicals and then the online learning too.

It's gone very quiet in here...

I'm worried! Anyone any news or even slight speculation on when vetting forms will begin to roll out for any of us?

Vetting forms went out the other day for those who scored 70+ (If I remember correctly). When the rest recieve them would be anybodies guess.

I am mid 70's as well and I haven't received anything either.

I'm mid 70s too but from what I've heard it was only over 80s and high 70s that got. Could be another couple of weeks before the rest of the 70s hear..

Okie dokes mate. Have you a link for the thread?

It's telling me I can't post a link as I'm a new user even though I've been a member for over a year lol!
I'll try with spaces in the link...

Sorry my mistake I meant high 70's and up. I really should have checked before I post.

newpsni wrote: »

Anyone else receive a letter about their process not being continued at this time although the merit list remains live?

Yes- early 70s gutted, is this the end?

Didn't get letter yet but im further afield. Why didn't they just email? Or is that a deloitte only thing?
