    @2023recruit are you still waiting on vetting from 2022 campaign. Have they given any info at all when you ask why taking so long?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21 ElectricChkn


    I've rang Appointments twice since the start of November and each time I've gotten the exact same answer verbatim.

    " we're waiting on one or two suitability checks and we will give you a call when they come in"

    I'm just trying to wait patiently. The only **** thing is I have a long term job I would want to give fair notice to, a wife and 3 kids so we're all just kind of in limbo at the moment. Hopefully it's worth the wait.

    I was in the same boat as you with bmi, submitted new BMI in Nov, waiting to hear back on that and vetting still!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21 ElectricChkn


    Yeah I don't even know if I will even hear back from Occupational Health. One comment I read said after they submitted a letter a month letter they got a call with an offer and never actually did hear from Occupational Health so I'm not sure what to expect

    Hey guys just wondering did any of ye have to meet the chief super ? Just off the phone now with hr and told they were waiting for a report of chief super and vetting to come back, i was told by them a while back that it was just vetting that my files had come back from local station from meeting with sergeant, told me i wouldnt b meeting the superintendent. Is it that my file is near being signed off or will i have to meet the chief super as it been over 4 months since station meeting.

    any info greatly appreciated.

    TIA

    Hi all, I have got a place for the April intake. She said it’s probably the 8th of April but will email out when it’s confirmed. Is there any WhatsApp group for the April intake?

    I am the 2022 campaign. I first applied in March 2022 so it’s been a very long wait. I’ve had numerous problems with my eyesight and hearing tests. I would say to anyone who hasn’t heard anything back yet and like me was half expecting to be in the January intake, just email occupational health, appointment, just all of them. I think that’s the only reason I got a call last Friday to say my file was up to date. Also if anyone is applying now and fails their eye or hearing tests do not worry.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21 ElectricChkn


    Im 22 campaign also. Its been over 8 weeks since I sent Occupational Health a letter from my doctor for updated BMI and still haven't heard anything only a confirmation email from OH the day after my doc sent the letter to state they received it. Called Appointments twice in the past 8 weeks and they always give me the same answer "were waiting on one or two suitability checks". I'll email them and see what happens. Hopefully see you down there in April myself

    Any What’s App groups for April Intake?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21 ElectricChkn


    Good advise. I emailed both yesterday and got a call for April intake this afternoon.

    Hey everyone, quick question. I'm from last years campaign and just noticed somebody mentioned about penalty points and if they were meant to declare this on the form B?

    I was caught by the guards speed gun as couple years ago going 10 over the limit. I got penalty points but it never went to court. I never declared this on the form B cause I don't think it was necessary. How F'd am I?

    I haven't heard of anyone having to repeat the medical. They might ask for a letter from your Psychologist ?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26 CONGUI


    hi all,


    Any whats app groups for April?


    got the call yesterday, I'm 2022 campaign met the super in April 2023 and was waiting on the suitability checks since then.

    Never thought the day would come.

    If you don't mind me asking, what was your your average oom after phase one of the application process to be only call in April 2024.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5 Mcg1989


    The oom makes no difference after public appointments finish there end. Suitability checks is what delays it for everyone.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17 Iphone1923


    I'm still waiting on my extra reports I sent off for my medical too be signed off. It's been awhile now. I take it no news is good news? I'm hoping.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26 CONGUI


    Yeah oom makes no difference, mine was fairly low like 85 I think!

    all about the suitability checks unfortunately,



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32 puntcuncher


    Dumb question but suitability checks are just your background checks like family etc yeah?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26 CONGUI


    Yeah, basically any information (yours & your family's) put on the form B. So living outside the country previously or family abroad can be a pain because the vetting unit will need to reach out to whatever police force around the world.
