That is one for the next e-learning course as an example of good PR!

.S. · 10-05-2014 04:56PM

No! Love it, great to see everyone coming together!

DesertCreat_15 · 10-05-2014 05:03PM

Heres a higher res of that pic you posted btw !

oztop1234 · 10-05-2014 07:38PM

Is that a real police officer? Don't think so..... Uniform and belt doesn't look right

.S. · 10-05-2014 07:43PM

The singing one you mean or the motorbike one? Motor bike is genuine, from a PSNI Facebook page. Not sure about singing one

oztop1234 · 10-05-2014 07:56PM

Oh aye bike is real. Saw another bike cop do that myself today

monty46 · 10-05-2014 08:12PM

One singing isnt real we've had him in work at a wedding pretending to arrest a wedding guest then he starts singing

.S. · 10-05-2014 08:17PM

Yeah looked at it properly, singing one deffo a pretend, group called camouflage do stunts like that I think

DesertCreat_15 · 10-05-2014 09:05PM

Yep it isn't a real peeler, though it looks very real to the untrained eye. The lack of a Glock 17 was a giveaway

As .S. mentioned, it's a group called Cameoflage, there's a full length video up on their FB page.

Dekkers · 10-05-2014 09:42PM

I figured it wasn't a real psni officer when nobody was hurling projectiles at him. That's the main giveaway.

Even the comments on the bike pic were begrudging and cynical. Some people only want to complain.

As for Recruitment 2014 am still hoping I won't have anything to do with it ha

Dekkers · 11-05-2014 08:59PM

So now that we know there's 727 is it time to do a roll call to see how many are on here?

.S. · 12-05-2014 06:27AM

I thought it was 727 that passed ac, ie some have already progressed? I'm in delay batch with no word yet but I don't like putting up specific scores etc on here (I never put my details on the list thread) I think that's why roll call type things aren't too accurate on here maybe

.S. · 12-05-2014 06:33AM

Sorry just seen your comments on other thread. Still don't know if we'd get an accurate roll call on here though, think (as usual) we might be best just waiting for news

CDizzle · 12-05-2014 02:45PM

Very quiet on here today, take it there's no news of anyone still waiting receiving a PCA date or vetting forms?

Dekkers · 29-05-2014 08:33AM

More Garnerville rumours!

I heard there was only one big toilet and they make you all go at the same time.

True I've seen it at induction... Class Craic it is. Brings the team a closer (literally) and builds team morale.

wouldn't fancy striking a match if everyone had a communal dump haha

As long as you guys can aim right, that would be my concern lol

Dekkers · 30-05-2014 08:37AM

I see 1 of the venues of the information sessions has been attacked. They haven't necessarily attributed to PSNI recruitment but considering the same venue is due to host another event next week it seems like too much of a coincidence.

Hope not. There wouldn't be a great number applying from there in any case. Probably why they have 2 information sessions.

Mop a top · 30-05-2014 09:00AM

Speaking to an "in house friend" lol I asked if it was to happen at the others or is it just the city being it's usual self. He agreed with me, thinks it's a one off but will be interesting. Marine hotel Ballycastle this Monday :-/

Mop a top · 30-05-2014 09:01AM

No harm in us being vigilant though. Good practice lol

LG1985 · 30-05-2014 03:44PM

Hopefully a one off .. Cud have turned out ALOT worse last night but thankfully it didnt!!
