You missed the transfer window a few months ago, transferees are currently in the PSNI college i believe !

You should check about doing a Garda-Psni exchange first, that way you can get a taster for it before making the leap!

Howdy,

I transferred over here from England in the last batch of transferees. There were no AGS on the course although a number did apply. For one reason or another, none made it to appointment stage.

Due to the 'value for money' transferees represent, I'm sure there will be future campaigns.

Keep an eye on Police Oracle and psni website.

Best of luck

I know it's slightly off topic but what made you want to transfer over here? After reading the post on the other thread about how backward the psni is compared to other forces I wonder why people still want to do it. At least the test of us will know no different if we make the grade and get in

I'm from Belfast, lived away for 10 years and have a family now. For me, it was time to come back.

To a new recruit, you won't know enough to realise how different policing here is.

For me, it's a slow process of re- adjusting my mindset and processes. It's essentially the same job, but it couldn't be more different.

Fair enough, I had been away for some time too and wanted to come home - turns out I did so just in time for the end of the recruitment freeze! Hope it all works out for you and your family back here.

Hi, I nearly applied last year for the transfer to psni however the time wasn't right for me. I'm now definately considering it but no idea when they will re advertise, is there any rumours? I'm currently 10 years in the job with police scotland.
Cheers

The rumours have it that they will do another round of transfers next year, so that could work out well for you! As long as you don't mind at least 12 months back on response...

Would that mean an advertisement this year at some point? I've been mon to fri for a couple of years now in a office role which I've heard is hard to come by any way over on n.i. But tbh I'd be pretty keen to get back out there.

To be honest that's all I know at the minute, asked a friend who transferred last year after i read your post and they said that's what they had heard was happening. Believe it's a minimum of 12 months in response before you can even think about going for anything else. The package on offer is pretty good, especially if you're keen to come over anyway. I suppose all you can do is keep your ear to the ground (no doubt it will be mentioned on here as soon as it is advertised!)
