Homer be a good lad and get us a wee list made of things to take to induction, ta

PCMAC

Hey everyone, just wondering what documents are needed for induction? My passport needs updated in the next while and I wasn’t sure whether I should go ahead now (hoping to be in Jan I take) or if I’ve time to wait until it’s closer to renewal date?
Also what’s the standing on laptops? Are notes just written or are laptops advised?

Id maybe give them a bell on 101 if it’s not there by tomorrow. Induction is quite close.

Yeah, I'll give them until tomorrow. I would say they are reluctant to post everyone's out the same day!

Any of the "reserves" who got "confirms" receive a letter confirming the confirmed? (I like typing confirmed :P)

Post man just brought it woohoo!

Lucky you, mine still hasn't come? Does anyone have an email to contact them on? or am I being ridiculously impatient.

Stay safe with the storm today folks, sent home from work early as a result which is always a winner!

Well it was certainly windy around teatime but nothing hair raising with me.

Was chatting with some police friends who agreed that joining the police is a great career; it's the first 20 years that suck lol

Wasn’t much happening my way. Good to see a lot of prevantative action getting people home early. Popped onto some of the traffic times around half five and the roads were empty, handful of cars of the m1! Something like 28 days later.

I found it stressful there would be a few weeks that would be ok and then weeks in a row that were just so intense like exams practicals and assessments seemed to all be at once!

shanevendrell

In what sense? Would love a little more insight?

Psni26

Getting out of GV! It was so tough!

blueboat

Good to hear! What’s been your highlight so far?

Psni26

Well done everyone! Iv been in station about 3 months now... I thought GV was tough but on the ground is tougher! Stick with it because there will be so many times were you rethink the career it’s relentlessly hard! Just stick at it

I've celebrated last week now. It's out of my system.

From this day forward it's running, gymming, and Netflix cop shows.

Oh and I'll fit a passport photoshoot in at some stage too

blueboat

haha your right, something tells me we're gonna be busy for the next while.

Nice. Valley seems like everyday Constable stuff. Really down to earth and different from a lot of cop action programmes on. Statements, looking at cctv, policing on the ground and an insight into the people they are policing.

I'll get on that as I'm pretty sure it's on Netflix too. May get our TV bingeing in now

Nice one, I’ll check these out! Babylon sounds good.

It is; makes you think about the challenges faced by armed response. And then the politics of the higher ups.

Nope Homer, just wondering. Must be induction then. Cheers pal.

Phew, was getting a sweat on lol.

Check out valley cops on iPlayer. It’s very good. Wee doc on day to day lives on welsh police.

I'll do that

I recommend Babylon with Jimmy Nesbitt. It follows the big wigs, an armed response team and a TSG crew in the met.

If you want some comedy the Brooklyn Nine Nine is great.

This one is military based but still worth a watch; Bluestone 42. It's a comedy drama following bomb disposal in Afghanistan. Lots of black humour as they cope out there.

And of course Line Of Duty. Only started watching it a few months ago. Did a double take when they were driving down the York Road in Belfast lol

All on Netflix
