    You shouldn't use serving officers

    It doesn't say that anywhere? I know that you used to be advised not to but I assume it's no longer the case.

    OK, I should have worded that differently. Yes, the form doesn't specify that you can't - but if you ask any serving officer to be a reference they should tell you that they are unable to. They are meant to be totally impartial and therefore it's recommended that they don't do it.

    I have one down on mine. And I'm in the first batch of passes. Never heard anything back so I think it's OK.

    Would it not be classed as 'canvassing' to have an officer as a reference?

    Is it not more of a referee rather than a reference? Just to confirm you are who you say you are

    B here as well, 66% in the AC. Hoping to get my vetting forms/PCA date this week. Obviously they are dealing with the highest scorers first and the rest of us just haven't been gotten to yet. Remaining hopeful :)

    Exactly! A lot of people would have killed for a low B. Although that would probably have messed up their vetting :)

    Nearly had a heart attack this morning, saw an envelope with the PSNI crest hanging in the letterbox. My hopes for PCA/vetting were sadly dashed when I seen it was addressed "to the occupier" and they just wanted to tell me how good their 2013 was.:o:(

    Anything from psni will come in a nice non descript plain envelope!

    I'm watching breaking bad at the minute so I could have named it that! Although don't think the thread would have lasted that long!
