    Will we have to wait until after elections before any more updates on finances (budgets) and intakes takes place or has there been offers sent out?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 97 ✭✭Newyearnewjob


    There will be a trickle of recruitment to maintain current numbers. Then if budget gets approved I imagine recruitment will increase again. Pretty sure the budget won't change till after election in May.

    With the recent update and changes to the pension I imagine a lot of officers are going to be retiring earlier than they thought. This will likely have an effect on recruitment just to maintain numbers.

    Whats everyone's thoughts on reapplying I'm appointable and just waiting on a call i have my role plays coming up again to start the whole process.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17 Tiedye098


    I’m appointable ML 450-500, I reapplied but never went to role plays as I became appointable before my date. Feels like waiting forever now on the call.

    @jcm86 honestly can’t really see the point, I never bothered reapplying, they will never recruit that campaign before anyone in this. Where are you around on merit list? Here’s hoping this month they might do some calls…



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15 jcm86


    Hi I'm 700-750 been appointable since end of Jan, sent an email to recruitment not putting myself through it all again. So here's hoping calls start going out soon again.

    Failed physical first time unfortunately



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 97 ✭✭Newyearnewjob


    I had applied again but backed out before assessment. This campaign has been bad enough, don't fancy going through another.

    Anyone on here get to the point of being offered a start date in GV then decide to pull put of the process?

    According to twitter a new intake started today. Hopefully some calls will start to go out for May/June intakes. Not sure if they generally do a July intake due to how busy it is. I'm now at the stage where I would rather start later in year to guarantee Xmas off as I have plans. Would just like a rough idea of what's happening in background. It's been a while since we have had communication from the PSNI, would be nice to receive updates as to what is happening. They haven't even updated the recruitment stats since Feb.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 130 ✭✭lornzeo99


    @Newyearnewjob when would this intake even have been from? I didn’t think anyone got calls in Feb? Here’s hoping calls go out this month although I’m not high enough on list to be expecting one unlike others on here

    Just out of curiosity. Does anyone reckon that the ‘21 recruitment would have Fast Track? Albeit results are supposedly end of day 13th May.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 106 ✭✭DDGS7


    It's an intake made up of people who had deferred to the cancelled march intake, I believe



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 130 ✭✭lornzeo99


    I thought they had already started but maybe not! @Boneyard2002 no, I read before they were doing a campaign after one but the first gets priority and there will be no fast track now. I’d say they are in for a long wait as the DUP are already saying they won’t form an executive after elections so the budget still won’t be sorted!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 97 ✭✭Newyearnewjob


    Currently struggling to sleep so thought I would look through this chat. Last time someone on here got the call was on 7 Dec. I know a few others have started since but no one on this chat has been offered since, madness. The other key theme I noticed is how resilient this group is despite the constant knockbacks and disappointment.

    Hi folks - I was part of this campaign, have been through GV, and have been in District for almost 6 months - I recognise a few usernames and appreciate how long some of you have been waiting- fair play to you and I hope you get in soon - feel free to ask me questions if you have any :)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 97 ✭✭Newyearnewjob


    Wow, were you one of the original fast track groups weird to think it's the same campaign. I suspect by the time some of us get in you will prob be nearing the end of your probation.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17 Tiedye098


    Got the call today after a long wait

    @Tiedye098 amazing! Where are you on merit list? Presume other people on here got calls? I’m merit list 700-720, but just got offered a different job yesterday and now I’m so confused!!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17 Tiedye098


    450-500 ML



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36 OldBenTheHermit


    Congrats! I’m sure you are over the moon! Hopefully the rest of us hear sooner rather than later!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 78 ✭✭Byc_moze


    I am in exactly the same position 🙁 don't know what to do. Send them email, got just basic answer with no details at all. I have to decide either take a new position or wait months for PSNI 😭



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 57 ✭✭Tango-Hotel


    I'm 500 to 520 and know there are people in GV with a higher ML position than me, who have been in over 2 months. If calls went out today, then I'm surprised I didn't get one, as I am now appointable.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17 Tiedye098


    I think calls can go out over a couple of days so you might get it yet



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12 Kirks22


    Does anyone know how many are going in with each intake?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 97 ✭✭Newyearnewjob


    Is this for May or June.
