If your file is signed off does that mean you cant get one of them generally unsuitable letters?

Anyone get a letter to say they are generally unsuitable? I did and am in process now of informal review, pending that outcome might have to do a formal review and pending that an appeal. Just curious is anyone else in this position. Also don't take it that your vetting is complete because its "gone to be signed off" because that's where mine was at. And it didn't get signed resulting in this.

Sorry to hear that, think someone did post a while back along the same lines as yourself.

Without going into too much detail, did they give a specific reason as to why you were unsuitable?

Hopefully you are successful with the review or at least you're able to argue you're case.

This is everyone's worst nightmare here. Really hope you get it resolved and back on track. Pray no one else receives that letter. Especially after all the time and effort everyone has put in.
I remember someone hot that letter too. Maybe the august intake page. But maybe drive down to your local station and ask for a meeting with the sergeant/ super you were dealing with. Maybe they can shed some light on why they came to this decision and get a solution to it.

Was it a letter you received or an email?

Thanks, am well I've never been in trouble in my life at any stage. Not even a fine. But there is one or two troublesome cousins. They don't actually tell you why they will never disclose a reason.

Definitely going to fight it tooth and nail, I never imagined there would be an issue. I've waited to long to let it pass me.

Thanks all yere comments are appreciated , I'm not going to let it go easily. If I get a formal review there is a chance I get to meet the assistant commissioner , which I think would be a good thing , put my argument forward. Its hard when they don't disclose the reasons, because your not sure what your arguing against. Hopefully , fingers and toes crossed. I'm not going down without a fight , its what I wanted since a child!

I'm just hoping I won't have the same issue. Have one or two bad cousins as well but I haven't talked to them in years.

It'll be very bad form if that's the issue. It's not like you can choose your family.

Wish you the best of luck anyway with the review/appeal.

Sorry I don't mean to worry you. I got the letter 23rd July I think. I'm not going to let it go, you cannot judge a person by a relatives mistakes. I haven't seen these cousins in years and its been years since they were in trouble. So I'm very hopeful it will be overturned.

its rough estimate but hes more then likely right if you go by the previous intakes first round offers are out 4 weeks before induction week then second round offers will be out the following week or two after. november intake is starting 6th of november so induction week are the two weeks before the start date

I'm sorry to hear this but delighted you are going to stand your corner and get to the bottom of it. You have a great attitude and the fact you are being so tenacious and passionate about what you want in life and fulfilling a childhood ambition will really stand to you, thats the sort of guards we need policing our streets and I can't see how they wouldn't be impressed with that

Thanks so much really appreciate it. I feel even more confident now with all the lovely replys and messages. I won't let it pass me, many obstacles have been in the way before and you can either turn back or make your way past them, that's way I look at it

@Lorraine, I am so sorry to hear this. It is my worst nightmare  I'm from the Dec 2015 and anxiously waiting for November and I am terrified of the post man for that reason! Everyone has some family member with a colorful past
You probably know this already but be careful of social media, the slightest pic or comment can make a huge difference.
Keep fighting, show resilience and determination and commitment and I am sure you will be in blue before you know it.
Best of luck!

'your vetting is done and went for a final review [a formal check up by the higherups]'

Jan 16. Nope they had said that it was gone to be signed off, weeks ago, and then this letter came in the door.
