I noticed Talking Blues are now doing a specific course on PSNI later in the year, does anyone know if this would be beneficial? Or would they not have the latest assessment centre style/scenarios used in the 2013 campaign onwards? Ie: will they coach you about a police specific role plays or just generic roleplays that use various jobs to cover the competencies PSNI are looking for. Only asking as I know from my own experience that the assessment centre has changed greatly from what it was pre 2013.

I'd assume they'll adopt the same style of assessment this time around and would think it's unlikely PSNI or Deloitte would have made the details of these public. I could be wrong but Deloitte and PSNI give you the details you'll need. As long as you can demonstrate the core qualities they want you should do well.

The whole new assessment centre threw me off to a bad start last time and was reflected in my results summary (started off bad but got better), at least I know what to expect now and the assessment centre from the last campaign is still fresh in my mind on a positive note though! Lol Not sure if people are allowed to say but does anyone have a contact for coaching/preparation for the assessment centre? Or could PM details? Just determined to nail it this time!

The response I received was as follows: The starting salary for constables appointed from the current competition (Campaign 1405) will be £19,000. I know this won't effect most of you applying but I thought I would let you all know!

Remain at point 1 until they complete probation (total of 2 years but can be extended by the Chief Constable).

Suzuka wrote: » You wonder if this will be announced on the news, would be a shame if all those folk who didn't realise the new salary get through to the end of this campaign and then didn't turn up at GV on the first day because they only found out about the new salary in the induction weekend and thought "no way!", especially if some of us don't get through who really want it regardless of the pay changes Personally I think you shouldn't be applying for the money but can understand peoples frustrations if they really want it and have youngsters etc.
