PSNI Recruitment - The Waiting Room

Shield

So you've done everything and now you're just waiting. Pull up a seat and hope they don't leave you waiting too long! You'll be in good company.

MAKEPEACE

Hi, I know i've written about this a few times but I was wondering if PSNI could tell me why my merit number may have dropped by over 50 places since the first time I checked? I can't understand it unless it is to do with medical and vetting cos I thought it was based on ac score

Shield

I really have no clue to be honest. You would need to talk to Consensia directly and ask them.

Wanalaugh

Hi guys & gals. Just gona sit in here and take it easy until i get that long awaited call. Anyone for a chat....

I was really hopin to get that call last week. Theres still maybe time to get it next week. Im just hopin it takes a few days to do all the calls. If not, its another 4 week+ wait. Whats ur thoughts psni?

wanalaugh

Shield

I'd love for you to get the call. They try to give between 4-6 weeks notice so people can prepare themselves. You just never know what way it's going to go. When people drop out or defer, the people on the reserve list don't even get that long!

goodcopbadcop

Anyone know how long it takes to get the calls out? Will they be doing it all this week?

alanbelfast

Alan

goodcopbadcop

i will be a nervous wreck by the end of the week waiting on a call

Good luck for tomorrow, and good going shaving off an extra few pounds, should be a bit of help, although saying that I was worried about my BMI since im heavy from bodybuilding but she measured my height at nearly 6ft 4 and weight at 14 stone 4 lbs. Im only 6ft 1 and 15 stone:p

Wanalaugh

*shock* What's this? Someone SUPPORTING my hard work?














(thanks!)

goodcopbadcop

Heard nothing either. I wonder how long it will take to ring everyone, does anyone know?

I can't see myself getting a call anytime soon, have a bad feeling about it.

alanbelfast

Hi

Just to let yas all know, I am now a member of this thread 'the waiting room' lol.
Did the med and all went well, He said well done your fit for duty.
So said he would send the report to whoever and then it's down to them. Such a relief.

Cheers everyone for the support, Was much needed and very much appreciated.

goodcopbadcop

Cheers gcbc

Went on shopping spree straight afterwards to celebrate.
Then went to my fitness trainer and he took the smile of my face lol. Just had nice hot bath in a ton of salts to recuperate.

No word on any phone call ?

goodcopbadcop

Hope you dont give yourself some kind of bad luck jinx by getting stuff for police training.

No call today, had the phone glued to me all day.

This is the worst part of the process by a mile.

alanbelfast

Well true but hope the wait aint that long.
Shouldn't scud myself hopefully ....below 50 in merit and of rc desent!

I have prob scud myself in saying that now lol.
Father in law was talking to someone in the police recruitment and he said that aug intake is not complete so fingers crossed for ya.

goodcopbadcop

You know what I forgot your background and score there for a while.

You are definitely getting in, so forget what I said about the jinx.

I aint holding out too much hope for this time but you never know how things will go

Think positive gc, I know it's hard that you maybe don't want to get your hopes up but I do believe in staying positive - If it's meant to be then it will happen. You have put a lot of time and effort into this and I do think you will be rewarded for that

hols82

congratulations alan all that blood sweat and tears paid off im sure you will get in now....i called vetting today after 5 months i wished mine to have cleared and again the disaapointment on my face is untrue still ongoing is ringing in my ears..this rate it will be another 5 months before i hear anything. least i got the c14 ac soon to keep me from going insane.

good luck to everyone still waiting

JVB

Welcome to the waiting room, pull up a seat ... a comfy one Nah, seriously hope you get the call soon. You say you're RC and below 50, I swear I thought you were under 40 years old (joking:p) Well done chap.

Wanalaugh

Good one Alan. Its good to hear good news on here.

Its also good to know that not all the calls have went out yet GCBC.

wanalaugh

Wanalaugh

Its very quiet in here today :rolleyes:

alanbelfast

Was just thinking about this today.

You know the way that sometimes ya move house or move school and it's an awkward feeling with new neighbours or school chums etc. Well I really think this board will stand us well. I mean we all sort of know each other now and I think it will make things a lot easier once in G'ville. Settling down will be a lot easier what with being away from friends and family for a while.

This board has def been a life saver

alanbelfast

Well I hope this makes some peeps happy.
Just off the phone with head of appointments and she clarified that she is only doing the august contracts now and it is not filled up yet.

Gives us all some hope eh?

alanbelfast

Thats what I was thinking, MrsGH!! Its sooo small, I was expecting it to be at least a wee bit bigger! Just goes to show you. It ain't no five star hotel

Congratulations to Alan as well, quite a short wait between his medical and appointment call. Hope its that short for the rest of us when we get around to that stage

goodcopbadcop

Well done Alan, you sound like the happiest person to get the call so far, I would probably be the same.

They really wasted no time in getting you the call, what a shock it must have been so soon.

Good to hear they haven't filled up yet, you should of asked when they expect to have them all done. (Joking)

soozb82

Nyone else given up on August??? Or just me??!!!

goodcopbadcop

I have given up on it. September maybe?

I was tempted to ring recruitment and just openly ask what intake they reckon I will be be in, if any, wonder what the answer would be? :eek:

soozb82

Interesting idea, let me know how that goes for you!

I don't want to phone, I am living in blissful (obviously not) ignorance! The only thing I don't know about is my vetting, and it has been away since December, and I'm from the North!! Scared to phone incase they tell me some close relative is a blazing criminal and I never knew about it!!

I'm losing faith, I don't know how people are expected to feel the same desire for a job when it takes the best part of 18 months (so far!) to get results! Waiting is sucking the life blood out of me!!!

tom360

gcbc theres not much point in phoning them to ask for a start date as i tried that earlier and although they confirmed that i had passed my medical and vetting they said that they could'nt give out start dates. its pretty frustrating but what can you do! Anyway big congratulations to all those that have got the call up for august especially those who have been trying to get in this last 5-6 years - the rest of us only think we are being patient.

goodcopbadcop

When did you pass medical and what was your merit score?

So take it you are not getting called for August since she wouldn't tell you?

tom360

Eventually passed medical about 2 months ago after an appeal. merit score under 500 and im from a RC background so am hopeful this will be good enough to get in.

As for getting in for august, i very much doubt it. got to think that it would'nt take more than a few days for recruitment to call 50 odd people, although i would be more than happy to be proved wrong with this assumption.

goodcopbadcop

Well from what people have said it takes a bit of time to get through everyone for the intake.

I dont understand this process at all, you are under 500 and RC and a guy was 750+ and was offered training in March, how does this work out?

anyways, i think you have a pretty good chance of getting a call yet, keep ticking!
