    People shying away from working in Dublin where they will actually have to do proper police work!? Some just looking for a cushy number down the bog signalling tractors up and down the road and giving the OAPs lifts home from the pubs at closing time!

    Yeah. That's exactly what happens in limerick...

    The only benefit of dublin is the resources. there are more Garda resources in the city, more armed gardai including the SDU and ERU, and the majority of the junkies you'll be dealing with are skinny and weak :p but violence is a problem, Assaults are expected unfortunately but if you adapt the American police approach to your police work you can avoid the assaults. Cover your ass, think someone is violent, cuff them straight away before they have a chance, if they resist, out with your baton or pepper spray and make sure you go home in the same condition you left. thats my view to it all

    The defendant appeared to be agitated upon my arrival on scene and displayed aggresive behaviour towards me and my partner so i detained him for our own safety until we could establish his identity, something like that ;)

    Bear in mind Jim Malone's statement in The Untouchables.

    "You have just complete the first rule of law enforcement. At the end of your shift, go home alive"

    or more crudely "Better be tried by twelve than carried by six"

    Don't let them think they have a chance or they will really put it up to you

    Once you have a power of arrest and decide to arrest you are fully entitled to restrict the persons liberty. It's very easy to explain that

    I know it's a competition but I don't get the animosity between posters on these threads. You've the few who know "everything" and do their level best to make sure everyone knows it and the few who know a bit and help out as much as they can. Which are you!?

    By the by, that's a rhetorical question, everyone can see which side of that fence ye are on ;)

    I was always led to believe that police treat each other like family, or is that just in the states? The majority of the posters are very condescending towards other posters even though many of us should have the same values if we want to join the police.

    What's wrong with a bit of craic and slagging. Great way to build morale on a shift.
    Would you rather a few dry old ****es lacking in enthusiasm

    The discovering rules was straightforward enough. There were two or three difficult one that stood out.

    The verbal reasoning is impossible to answer you. I honestly don't know what to make of it still.

    I managed to answer everything, but had to guess 2 or 3 in each one to make your I got everything done. Just stay calm and watch the time limit

    Isn't guessing bad? Obviously it's good if guessed right but with negative marking I'd rather not answer than stab in the dark

    I expect them to build up a very big panel from this campaign

    OK folks, in response to an earlier post, this is how Stations are selected. It is a very scientific process.
    1. Nobody will be posted in the same district where they or there family(and relatives up to first Cousin) live. This does not apply for Dublin or Cork(and maybe other cities in recent years).
    2. There are 2 stacks of paper. One stack contains the names of newly trained gardai. The other stack is of stations with vacancies that rule 1 has been applied to. Names are matched with stations.

    The Priority will always be given to Dublin. This is where most of those in line policing have moved to specialist units. Command and control(Harcourt Square) is also an option. Other issues with the city stations is the curse of all gardai "Posts". The unfortunates who have to stand outside government buildings, offices and even ministers homes.

    All these wonders await you.

    It's says that there isn't just 300 jobs for 25000 applicants, but that they hope to use the people left, who pass all stages, for 2015, 2016 etc...meaning there will be a large panel.

    Haha. Hang on no, if this was verbal reasoning then the answer would be " cannot say".

    ''I would like to say however that reports implying that there are 25,000 applicants for 300 posts are incorrect as we expect to use this competition to provide Garda recruits in 2014, 2015 and 2016''


    Now he tells us ffs, There making it up as they go along. Seems to me they'll recruit from a panel for the next few years. I knew they couldnt just pick 300 out of the 25,000 that'd be next to impossible..
