W221 wrote: » I should be fine in all other aspects, I do have a fair amount of debt related to my business but I’m in good a position to clear the majority of that before the earliest possible start dates anyway. So am I right in thinking they’d be looking for people who’d perhaps be persuaded to take money to clear existing debts?

I think that's the first batch of fast trackers done. It seems there are only four I think on the board. I wonder how many they fast tracked. Fingers crossed for the rest of us waiting. I really want this chance

Police officers are human beings, human beings have debt, human beings make mistakes, not all debt is necessarily bad debt. You do not need to clear your debts before vetting forms come, that is nonsense. Yes as a principle reducing debt before starting a new job is a sensible course of action but please do not panic cause you have had a bit of money trouble.
Tan26 wrote: » I dont believe anyone was scaremongering, people are passing on their opinions, which yes are only opinions and not fact, but no one has said anywhere having a specific debt is going to disqualify anyone. At the same time you dont know that it wont, people are sharing their views and experiences.....I believe thts the objective of boards.
YNWA27 wrote: » Not pointing any fingers. Just keep in mind that people will take advice like "clear your debts or else" literally and there's no need to panic anyone. This process is stressful. 8 stages to pass and we haven't even got to stage 3 yet as a whole... Boards is for support, let's focus on supporting each other. Debate is healthy.
