They were saying to me that the PSNI would risk assess your connections and all that through vetting and wouldn’t necessarily put you in a district that would be deemed risky for you. E.g too much family in that area. I on the other hand am thinking if I Pick somehwre it’s just based on operational needs basis and the risk of being in a district with family in the area is a risk I take myself. Can anyone shed some light on this ? (At this stage I’m not surprised if I go searching there is probably a FOI on it lol)

I am not nieve enough to expect to be treated any differently after the move back to NI. I have a long 30 odd years ahead and am in no rush! My current force has ALOT of officers, therefore opportunities are more so. It has to be expected that in the PSNI things will be scarce!

You'll skip probation (or have a reduce one i.e. 6 months) and you'll keep your pay scale plus NITA money for house will be saved in no time. Yeah! Apart from that! But back to basics - hospital guards, constant watches, scenes, etc! If its anything like here, you do your bit, unitl the next newbie comes along,etc etc.

Is it possible that those scoring higher in the future campaign will overtake those on the merit list for 1710? (or even worse they bin the merit list for 1710) or does this signify a healthy recruitment budget enabling them to take everyone from 1710 ASAP? I scored at the high end of 55-60 and my concern is evidently the former. Going by this years timescales, it will be roughly this time next year when AC results for autumn 18 are released, and going by previous years it is difficult to envision anyone on scores such as mine getting a call in that period of time.
