2021 Applicants - Merit List

Regarding the CDO merit list - I just replied back on the email and been informed that I’m 40-50 on the list - but no indication of how long the list is. Not holding out too much hope with that position considering it’s probably a job requiring minimal staffing.

Mine was £25, I've genuinely heard a mix bag on this, few people have paid similar, I know someone paid alot more. Just check with them when ur dropping it in.

I seen the stats have been updated , there is going to be a large chunk of us waiting some still have Pca and medical within the next few weeks , and some have completed those stages , surely they should know the budget by now ? If they have money to run classes later in the year

yeah I say we will defo be waiting to next year then , 4 years later

Think it's up I'm the 700s there's also this

I decided to defer. I was offered July. Painful but had to defer due to work commitments and other factors. I’m also waiting on my vetting to come back from the Met which I applied for. I’m pretty sure it will be soon. Which is going to be a hard decision to make. The process has been long for PSNI, but there’s nothing like serving in the force you know and also which is your home. Big decisions. Not easy.

Regarding the medical questionnaire we get after PCA, do you leave it into your GP surgery or do we make appointment and speak face to face with GP while they fill it in? 🤔

Passed my PCA today, how long does it take before recruitment contact you to book your appointment with Occupational Health and will they email you?

It's a Substance Misuse Test, it's fine if u take a painkiller so long as u tell the person taking the sample & they will ask, even if its cold & flu tablets. I had taken ibuprofen & id been plastered in deep heat leading up to my PCA through an injury! This is a test to see if ur on something u shouldn't be. Nothing scary! If ur on prescription medication then all of this information is in ur GP pack given to them at the medical!
