Surely they would tell you if they weren't going to sign you off? January 2017? That's crazy I wonder why they would do it that way? It couldn't be that disorganised that they'd mix intakes like that. Hopefully we'll hear something after Christmas that way we'll stand a good chance to get April.

Doubt it they will tell.... they are very mysterious when you talk to them

Damn I'd like to think they'd give you some indication as to whether you're gonna get your vetting done or not. Yeah they may aswell be speaking in riddles.

SinWin

My vetting is all clear its just waiting to be signed off since September.

Oh okay I see. I think I'm the same but I can't get a straight answer they said they're still waiting on a reply from management or something along those lines.

Late 800s

Mid 500s from Sept 2016. Everything completed since July. Vetting still outstanding. So frustrating when people with a worse oom get in ahead of you 🙈

Im sure it would be no harm to ring and ask. I rang a few months ago asking about a meeting with the super and was contacted within a week by the stations secretary.

I’m the same. Everything done since August
OOM of 507. Sat like an eejit since August patiently waiting
Finally grew a set and rang HRM based on the advice of the other thread
Only to be told they haven’t received my vetting
They were surprised I met super in July and it still wasn’t back.
So they were going to chase it up now ASAP
So in a nutshell I sat for 4 months nervously waiting on word. Then when I ring (17th December) I find out that bombshell and now people who are ranked less in the OOM are in
Felt actually so bad seeing everyone getting their offers. But what can you do? Just hope now they get this vetting in ASAP I’m starting to panic in case there’s something in my file ( I had minor motoring offence 5 years ago speeding ) has anyone else anything they are worrying about. Maybe that’s the delay in vetting

I wouldn't worry too much about a speeding offence. I had the same offence from a few years ago and the super dismissed it and said it's nothing to worry about during my meeting with him.

The Red Lad

September 2016 too praying for April intake it really is a long process but hopefully it will be worth it.

SinWin

YEAH I have 3 penalties - speeding and vetting all done just to be signed off now! Don't worry about it!!!! are all the offers for Feb out even second round?

twoblub

That is a very good question alright, it’s hard to tell really. You would assume the majority of us now is September 2016, I am September 2016 too

DublinGuy84

Im out guys,I got an offer yesterday!
Keep the faith.

Clono

I'm September 16 as well oom 600's

RedDragon386

Has anyone heard of anyone that got refused? Got my name taken a few times like 13-14 years ago for acting the eejit but the super didn't seem to keen. I'm from sept 16 and everything cleared except vetting. Forked out 3 grand for eye surgery too. Surely they couldn't string me along this long? Any ideas?

Clono

i am in the same boat as you, have everything done since last june and i am from sept 16 oom 600's . was involved in an investigation into an assault ten years ago and nothing came of it and had a few driving fines nothing else and i am still waiting on vetting. they keep telling me im in a long line to be signed off.

MrPaudieQ

Hi all,

I have my local interview in two weeks, just wondering what its like? is it just a meet and greet or is it proper interview style?

Any help would be much appreciated

RedDragon386

For me the sergeant meeting was a breeze he just quickly goes over the petty reasons my name was taken years ago. Things I couldn't even remember but it's in and out and even a they crack a few jokes. It gave me a false sense of security for the meeting with the super which was very intense but I guess that's only if you have stuff to worry about and if you do be prepared for the questions but be totally honest at the same time

RedDragon386

In the 600s too mate. I'll be freaked if I didn't because it was old friends doing the messing. One or 2 incidents were a bit serious but that was over a decade ago and I havnt been a around those people for a decade. In the form we weren't asked if we had our name taken. I'm very pissed off it's even in my record. I'd love to know if I'm getting in. Don't know what to be saying to people. I will certainly appeal if I didn't

I rang up today and was told my vetting back and they just need to look it over and send to the commissioners for decision. Don't no does this mean it's signed off or still waiting or what.

I would suggest that your just waiting senior management to sign off on your file (check and make sure any question marks are answered and all boxes ticked). Sounds like the vetters and crime and security have done ask their work. Your lucky at least your that far along, some of us are still waiting vetting to finish thanks to the long winded thing it can become.
