Hi, i done the medical about 2 weeks and sent my vetting away last week. Do you def have to phone for a merit pool number? what happens next??
You should wait for the medical results to arrive. If you've already got the letter which states, that you are medically fit for duty, there's a line where it says, that PSNI will contact you to explain what happens next.
Basically now you are waiting for the merit list to be released out (by your merit number you could roughly guess if you have a chance getting in) and feedback from AC test, then vetting clearance (which could take ages) and then, hopefully, for the call, that you're in and starting at the given date
I'm in exactly same boat and, I believe, hundreds of others.0 -

Hey guys i too got the "your on the merit list" letter, i got the letter saying i passed my medical and i'm now just waiting on my vetting to come through, if you get the "your on the merit list" letter, does this mean you just have to pass your vetting or you still need to wait until the a/c feedback is out then find out your actual merit score?
thanks0 -

Hi, Got merit list number today... not very happy
does anyone know what a decent enough number for a RC??? what happens now... is it simply waiting for a call that might never come or will they contact u again???
From what I've read on here it's quite hard to tell, people have told me about some people who are RC getting in with a merit score of plus 800 so you might be alright.
Yep, now we wait! They won't contact you again until it's 'the call'.0 -

Just remember, there were a couple of thousand extra applicants this time round - which will no doubt push that lucky merit cut off down a bit...making it a bit harder.
(Unless ofcourse you know of people who have already got in this campaign, with a high merit score -in that case i dont know how they work nowdays)
yes your hair must be very short. No sideburns, or facial hair growing during training. You'll be told by the drill staff anyway 0 -

What's a show parade that everybody mentions?
I thought about not answering this and just leaving it to your imagination but then I thought I may as well tell you so maybe you'll be able to avoid them
A show parade is what happens when either your uniform or room isnt up to scratch. Your room will get inspected and if the drill staff dont like it you'll be outside your room at 10pm that night in your best uniform for it to be inspected again.
if your uniform isnt up to scratch on a friday for Chief's parade you'll be lined up at 5pm on a friday in best uniform to be inspected again, meanwhile everybody else will already be at home.
Or if your spotted by drill staff with your hands in your pockets - show parade.
When marching to class and you're stopped outside the drill hut to be inspected and its first thing in the morning and you havent ironed you're trousers - show parade.
When you're doing drill and drill staff decide its time for an inspection and your boots have grey heals - show parade.
Its awesome I was good at keeping my uniform immacualte so only had 3 the whole time I was there but there were others who were on it all the time 0 -

If one person mucks up with their uniform does the whole squad get it or do they single you out? I'm terrified now in case I do get in lol
Do you get inspected every morning before class?
When you say hands in your pockets, does that mean anywhere? Or just during inspections etc0 -

Thanks Boutye! Hope they let me defer if I'm called early. The show parade sounds fun, looks like I'm going to have to learn how to iron
hey jclegs, I know a couple of guys who deferred as they were getting married/holiday booked and they asked to see the reception booking confirmation/holiday tickets etc
what's your merit score?0 -

No its only you going on show parade if you muck up. At least thats how it was when we were there. I remember one time though 3 out of 4 of our squads were put on show parade one friday because the majority of people in each one were bad so everybody had to suffer.
As for hands in the pockets, thats any time they see you with a hand in your pocket you'll know about it.
And after a while you have to march to the first class in the morning and the first class after lunch. Sometimes you'll be stopped and inspected and if you're not up to scratch then its show parade.0 -

what's your merit score?
My merit score is in the 130's but I don't finish uni until around May time. July would be ideal, as I know they don't usually have a June intake. I never thought I would get this far on my first time applying. I would be heartbroken if they didn't let me defer (if necessary), as I've wanted to be a police officer since I was no age.
I would be the first one at the gate if they did!
P.s. Congrats on your merit score, you must have been on fire at the IST and A/C!0 -
