    Hey everyone

    Marrick999 here, was unsuccessful in the last recruitment campaign, looking forward to giving the new one a shot. Must've read all of the recruitment posts from the last campaign but thought I'd get a little more out there and make myself an account this time around. Best of luck to everyone :)

    Since we’re only a couple of days away from the campaign starting I think we should get some chat going on this thread. What attracts you to a career in policing? Is it the cliche “make a difference in your community” or is it because you’ve watched too much Hawaii Five-0 lol ?

    For me I’ve grown up with a number of family members in the police and since I was little it’s always something I’ve wanted to do.Although most people say it, I want to help bridge communities together and make this country a better place.

    Stick around Jay, once the application stage is over then we will all be talking about the IST and you should get all of the information you want.

    I decided to stop by again just to wish everyone luck, website now has a timer which is counting down to 9am Monday

    This morning the lyrics to Discoland come to mind:

    Here we go, here we go, here we go again....

    Here we go, here we go, here we go again....

    Here we go, here we go, here we go again....

    Looks like they’re looking for 400+ Officers in this campaign. Reasonable amount considering it’s just under a year from the last recruitment drive.

    Currently have passed everything in the current campaign, but worried that they won’t reach me on the merit list, so have applied for this new one as well.

    Don’t think calls for nov are done yet, they will almost certainly do further intakes until the new list is ready to get feet on the ground which they definitely need. Keep positive :)

    I'm in the same boat as arniez12 and starting to worry about it abit. Submitted another application anyways. Fingers crossed I don't need it.
