Personally I don't think they should have changed the head, neck and hand tattoo policy. Not that I disagree with tattoo, far from it. But everyone should be "uniformed" and not stand out from one another.

So you feel that having some ink on your body affects your ability to Iron a shirt and trousers, polish boots, shave (keep a beard tidy), tie up hair (for females and longer haired gents)?

You know rightly when I said uniformed I didn't mean clothing. Everyone should look exactly the same when in clothing nothing about them should make them stand out differently from the rest of the other constables working. No matter if that be tattoos, piercings or crazy hair colour (excluding us gingers of course lol).
People don't have good memories, if someone wants to make a complaint etc and they can't remember who it was but they remember 1 cop had a tat that's the one they will report. Same reason UK forces only use shepherd breeds for general purpose dog work and even then they never use white ones because they stand out too much. Everyone should look exactly the same when in uniform.

Again same logic you are applying means a female officer shouldn't go to an incident if she is the only one there...

Well my opinion. You are free to disagree

Banterbus28 · 05-01-2018 1:10pm

Nice insight into prejudices there mate.

NiK9 · 05-01-2018 1:15pm

Thinking everyone should be equal isn't really going against anyone but anyway. If someone chooses to change their body with tattoo. Like most if us have. It has been our own decisions what we get and where we get it. It may not effect their ability but in my opinion everyone should be the "grey man".

Banterbus28 · 05-01-2018 1:18pm

The police needs to be representative of society though...

Banterbus28 · 05-01-2018 1:19pm

By your logic someone who doesn't conform to your belief of what a police officer should be, shouldn't get to be one. That's not equality, that's discrimination.

Banterbus28 · 05-01-2018 1:20pm

Some people get tattoos on their face or facial alterations for religious reasons...

NiK9 · 05-01-2018 1:29pm

Like I said all opinions so neither of us are wrong or right lol. No point arguing/debating.

Banterbus28 · 05-01-2018 1:33pm

You want to be a police officer, yes you are entitled to your opinion, but need to be careful how and where you voice it.

Those opinions expressed as you did would be seen as discrimination in a work place. Especially use of the word "should"

The recruitment and selection process maintains equality and the policy is now no offensive tattoos and no tattoos that may conceal your identity.

Banterbus28 · 05-01-2018 1:40pm

PSNI officers are watched like hawks and so many levels of oversight that complaints are frequent and claim culture means that anyway the public can make money they will take the opportunity.

Johannes_Cabal · 05-01-2018 8:31pm

If you have tattoos you still have to keep them covered whilst in uniform.

Quoting a friend who is in and has tattoos. "Depends on management" Some care, some don't. It expressly stated in the 1509 Campaign website that tattoos must be covered whilst working, new Join PSNI website does not, as such it is reasonable to expect that this is no longer the case and the policy as has been laxed.

I'm in GV at the moment, have tattoos and have been told that they are to be covered at all times, exceptions are P.E. and PSP.

As far as I'm aware how you wear your uniform when at station depends on the preference of local management. It has been mentioned during our course that those of us with tattoos will always be in long sleeves.

Hope we all get good news in the coming week. Good luck everyone

BlueCop8790 · 08-01-2018 9:34am

Good luck everyone, I hope you all get the results yous want. Now for the nervy wait and constant emails to keep us on edge every 5 mins lol.

For once in glad I'm working nights all week. Atleast that way when I am awake I know there is no chance of getting results and won't constantly be looking at phone lol.
Good luck everyone.

KN1231999 · 08-01-2018 10:07am

The week has approached us, better late than never, good luck to all of you and I hope we all get that exclusive ticket to Belfast

may the 5 day wait begin

Banterbus28 · 08-01-2018 10:39am

I have a Chrome extension that tells me if I have an email even when outlook isn't open and I'm still refreshing it every 2 seconds.

Smurfmaster1 · 08-01-2018 1:37pm

All the best everyone, hope Deloitte is kind! On here to take a break from refreshing my emails!

Banterbus28 · 08-01-2018 1:40pm

Love they way they can send that bulls**t survey email no bother but can't send out the results on the Monday. Bit unfair to folk who will have early assessment centres

Slo85 · 08-01-2018 1:42pm

Good luck everyone. Hopefully we hear today and not towards the end of the week.

Banterbus28 · 08-01-2018 1:45pm

It's only 14 days till the 22nd, seriously Deloitte catch a grip.

KN1231999 · 08-01-2018 4:46pm

Everytime I refresh my emails my heart drops for a second looking at my new emails lol

I'm not getting any new emails at all, I'm just waiting to see a number 1 pop up

Banterbus28 · 08-01-2018 5:09pm

I guess if we haven't heard by 1630, it won't be today.

jwhdkl5736 · 08-01-2018 5:31pm

Fingers crossed for tomorrow then you guise.

NornIron74 · 08-01-2018 5:34pm

Fingers crossed for before Friday.

BlueCop8790 · 08-01-2018 5:35pm

Guaranteed we'll get it at exactly 5pm on Friday, I think Deloitte like watching us suffer.

Deloitte - Destroyer of Dreams

NiK9 · 08-01-2018 5:42pm

Awake for work and got excited by "PSNI Recruitment" email but it was just this

lol.
2 weeks isn't alot of time to study hard never mind organise time off work or childcare etc etc for the A.C. you would think they would of had results ready to send today.

Banterbus28 · 08-01-2018 6:14pm

My primary problem is the lack of transparency alongside the tightening time frame.

I may be sitting on recruitment panels next month, and as it will be my first time doing so I have to go on the course.

Which will take a week plus 2 weeks worth of panels...

Literally don't they understand that we all work/study/have lives?

The Rookie · 08-01-2018 8:57pm

The waiting continues......possibly until 4.45pm on Friday :rolleyes:

BlueCop8790 · 09-01-2018 12:27pm

Did anyone else just get trolled by Deloitte?

NornIron74 · 09-01-2018 12:28pm

Deloitte are you trying to give me a heart attack?

I thought that might be the case as the questionnaire is available until that time.
