1405 campaign news

Psni26 · 05-07-2016 1:45pm

I'm still waiting! Does anyone have any idea if there will be more calls? Feel like it's limbo time again

Birchwood11 · 05-07-2016 2:08pm

I had my medical a fortnight ago and got the call at the end of last week

Psni26 · 05-07-2016 2:09pm

Yea I'm the same but haven't heard anything don't know what the craic is

Sidelined1234 · 05-07-2016 4:24pm

I'm still waiting. Giving it until the start of next week before I start getting in touch with them or lose hope.
They got in touch with me about vetting due to my tattoos so reckon mine is a week behind at least anyway.
Keep the faith folks. All we can do is keep eachother informed and be supportive.
For those who have already got the call, well done and congrats. Just remember there are those of us still waiting so try not to rub it in ;-P

Psni26 · 06-07-2016 3:36pm

Are the many 1405's left out there waiting? Lol it's got so quiet in here!

Sidelined1234 · 06-07-2016 3:48pm

Still here, still waiting.
Found out this morning that my vetting definitely passed so makes it all very unnerving. Dunno what's happening

Nerves2016 · 06-07-2016 4:11pm

I know some people have waited weeks, months on here in the past but given how quick 1405 has gone in past few months, I'd love an update on progress! Fingers and toes crossed.....

Fair play to those who had to wait for 5 weeks in the past and got in...the torture must have been extreme

Out of interest, would they mix 1405 and 1509 squads?

Psni26 · 06-07-2016 6:13pm

I think/hope we're in for the next calls which should be end of July if it goes by the same pattern. But since 1509 is also progressing faster aswell mixing could be a possibility! Who knows!

Sidelined1234 · 07-07-2016 10:09am

By the sounds of things the induction weekend for this intake is very close. So can't see the call coming any time soon.

Fingers crossed for a mixed campaign intake

Psni26 · 07-07-2016 10:15am

Hopefully! We have waited this long I'm sure another few weeks won't hurt lol

Sidelined1234 · 07-07-2016 12:05pm

It's a nightmare. I've been offered a temporary promotion in work. I can't step down to my old position st the end of it. If I knew what was happening with this I'd at least be able to make an informed decision.
Just my luck really haha

Psni26 · 07-07-2016 7:51pm

Yea I hear ya! I definitely think if we are to be called it will be end of July.

Sidelined1234 · 09-07-2016 10:01am

Hate to put this out there but anyone ideas as to when Dear Johns go out?
Would love to be put out of the misery of waiting

Nerves2016 · 09-07-2016 10:09am

keep the faith sidelined....

1405 were doing medicals up to 30th June so plenty time left yet......i know its mental torment but keep the head up until at least end of July!!!! Like everyone its so difficult to plan ahead (holidays, job etc) but Ive a good feeling on this one!!!!

Sidelined1234 · 09-07-2016 10:12am

Ah nerves, you're always so positive. I genuinely hope our paths cross at some point. You seem like one of the best of people.

You're right, I should be staying positive. At least I know I'm making my two best friends weddings in the coming weeks.

Goonerdee · 09-07-2016 12:41pm

I got a PCA invite for this campaign but I have withdrawn from it. So those still waiting for the call from this campaign, it looks positive.

Nerves2016 · 09-07-2016 2:19pm

Thanks for the update Goonerdee...they must be mixing 1405 and 1509 if you only got PCA invite now....mind me asking why you have withdrawn?

Goonerdee · 09-07-2016 2:29pm

i was struggling with a health issue when I withdrew, hoping it would be cleared by the time the 1509 PCA invites would be sent, which it hasn't, so bricking it.

Nerves2016 · 09-07-2016 2:34pm

Sorry hear that!! keep yourself well - the PCA is passable for everyone..we all panic in advance but its a lot easier than perceived to be...we all stress about each stage but straight forward then!!! best luck in 1509

Sidelined1234 · 09-07-2016 4:21pm

Thanks for the update Goonerdee.
Sorry to hear about the PCA struggle. I done mine on an injury and honestly it put my recovery back more than I ever thought it could so wouldn't recommend it. So good call and best of luck for C3

coolhand50 · 01-08-2016 8:20pm

Sooooooooo anyone want to hazard a guess as to what's going to happen to us now then? Anyone want to make me feel better about myself and reassure me everything's going to be ok? Pretty please? Lol! So near but yet so far it still seems. What date did we think the next batch of phone calls would start for 1405....if at all.
any news or positive feedback greatly appreciated.

Psni26 · 01-08-2016 8:29pm

Calls going by the usual 5/6 week mark were due to start last Tuesday no idea what is going on!

Nerves2016 · 01-08-2016 8:30pm

ah coolhand, welcome to the club of mental torture

the "wait" is definitely the biggest mental challenge, but if your fit for this, your fit for the job, im sure!

There appears to be a good 1405 crowd (both on boards.ie and not on boards) waiting for the call....but its only a good thing when you hear nothing...

Im still bagging on a September intake so its got to be a August call...if i start to hear 1509 calls going out, il give in...but in the meantime, staying positive, keeping in shape and reading over past board posts for all advice i call get to keep the mind going!! Day time is dreadful just waiting to see a private number, but either way, I know if this role is meant for me, it wont pass me by!!!

Worst thing is not being able to organise holidays etc waiting to know, but keep the faith

coolhand50 · 01-08-2016 9:20pm

Yes indeed "why have you not booked flights for his stag yet"
"you ever going to book to visit your bro (who lives abroad)"
"You ok? Your head seems elsewhere"
All questions I hear on a daily basis...
I am now in the "questionably content" stage nerves2016 if that makes sense. I have done EVERYTHING possible to get here. And nows the part I can't influence....a contentment has come over me. There WILL be tougher days ahead ifor I get my dream job. If anything, this stress is preparing me for it.
Mondays have actually become alot easier thinking it could be my 7th or 6th or 5th last in my current employment.
Just good having the comfort of you lot. We will get there. I never believed in fate.....I was always the skeptical believer in hard work prevails, now I do kind of take comfort in "if it's for you it won't pass you"
If anyone has taken time to read my mindless drivel, God help you lol!

Nerves2016 · 01-08-2016 9:33pm

haha - your comments/questions are nearly identical to my own situation..actually!!! In factor your entire post sums up my feelings!!!!!

Keep the optimism......as with everyday when i go to sleep, i think maybe tomorrow is the day

Psni26 · 02-08-2016 11:25am

With there not being a sept intake do you think 1405 campaign could expire?

coolhand50 · 02-08-2016 12:07pm

Is that official now? And if so would that mean any potential hopefuls have lost out because of a cheating scandal?

Nerves2016 · 02-08-2016 12:09pm

Surely they will provide some feedback before then.........this news just took the wind out off me!!!

Days wasted with Vetting, month wasted with online learning, day wasted for PCA training (not to mention personal time training), then the stress of a medical..and weeks of stressing and anxiety..hard to believe they would waste so much our time and their own!

Really is another twist in the tale!!!!

I volunteer you to ask them, Psni26

Phone 101 and ask for Police Officer Recruitment and they will put you through.

Psni26 · 02-08-2016 1:06pm

I have contacted them before about the expiry of 1405 and all they said was that at that point in time it's still running. I don't think they can tell for the forseeable. I'm so gutted!

Nerves2016 · 02-08-2016 1:10pm

In reading past posts, sometimes recruitment don't know what's happening fully until last minute!! So lets hold out and see whats in store...

Although gutted initially, got to remain positive that there are good number of 1405ers out there, and none of us have gotten rejection letters! So don't be going mad booking holidays yet, even tho, I think we could all be doing with one

Nerves2016 · 02-08-2016 1:38pm

To add to my little rant, if the 1405 campaign is finished, its shocking that recruitment only tell people who call them...It would suit them better to call people on the merit list and put them out of there misery so they can get back to living their lifes!

waiting2016 · 08-08-2016 12:29pm

Anyone else from the 1405 campaign had any news yet?

The last I heard was I passed my medical BUT this was the end of June!! I haven't had any word on substance misuse test either...

Are some people getting AC scores as a percentage because i certainly haven't got this?

Anyone else in the same boat? Going mad with all the waiting for news!

Did you try and ring them? The Smt should be back by now

@ Waiting2016 - No real update other than the various rumours floating around on here...No news seems to be good news when it comes to SMT/vetting but we (1405 gang) are all getting very anxious indeed..

Read back over historic posts and stay positive!!! Lots of support on here, either way

C3POPO · 26-08-2016 12:28pm

It's been quiet in here. What do you think? Still a chance for a call for 1405?

Psni26 · 26-08-2016 12:36pm

Yea we do I just think it's it will be later again than we thought I think out calls, plus they have delayed the new campaign and we have had no dear johns. Just think we need to hang in there another month and we will be grand!

Psni26 · 26-08-2016 12:37pm

*oct calls

Homer01 · 26-08-2016 12:48pm

It ain't over til the rotund female sings!

Could there be a combined 1405/1509 squad? Or maybe 1405/Airport?

Psni26 · 26-08-2016 1:57pm

Who knows what they are doing! Lol

C3POPO · 26-08-2016 2:38pm

I am still leaning towards a combined 1405/1509 squad, but it depends on how many are left in 1405. If there are only a few Airport trainees, then they could be added in as well - who knows!!

There is a FoI request that might give the numbers, but the response is not due back for a couple of weeks:

Delightscience · 26-08-2016 3:43pm

I think any calls will be end of next week / start of the following week for an early October start. MLA on BBC Radio Ulster this morning said the next recruitment campaign starts in January. They would surely need a few people from our campaign in GV before initiating the next recruitment campaign?

Nerves2016 · 29-08-2016 9:49pm

Keep hanging in there folks..some day a call will come

Nothing like waking up on a Monday, thinking "this week"...its like Groundhog day......On the plus side, the weeks are flying by with anticipation that the call will come...

WannabePC123 · 01-09-2016 10:56am

How are you guys feeling in 1405? The wait is bad enough for us in 1509 I can't imagine how stressed you all are! Fingers crossed your call comes soon!

It's all or nothing at the moment. They are either going to get us all in for the next intake or close the campaign down due to the delay and the fact they have a large number of candidates in 1509 ready to go. Could go either way!!!

Can't imagine they could justify using the money to put you all through the stages recently and not have another squad with this campaign. Especially will all the budget cuts.

MrBlack93 · 02-09-2016 8:40am

Most assuredly the wrong place to post this question but didn't think it warranted its own thread and that somebody here could answer.
My question is this; is there anyone from the 1405 campaign who just has a passing grade (very low AC score) who has been progressed through the medical and PCA?

I though everybody that was left in 1405 had been progressed through the remaining stages. Are you still in the campaign and have not been through medical and PCA?

Apologies for the confusion, I'm part of the 1509 campaign, just sitting on an exceptionally low AC score and wondering if I'll realistically ever be progressed through the later stages of vetting, medical and PCA
