You should check out the timeframe for application to other "special police reserves" they vary from 1 month up to about 3 at a maximum, and on top of this the applicants are certainly well informed and treated very well

Do not expect the force to show you some special consideration because you're a volunteer, as I've already said they often don't show consideration to long-serving members. I never said your points weren't valid, I said there's little you can do about them.

billyhead wrote: » Thats quick. I applied last February aswell and sat the initial interview and written test then. I suppose its the background checks that need to be cleared first before they contact you.
