    to go back on topic. there are more ppl killed on the roads then police officers. just count how many north and south in the last 10 years. (RIP). Its a difficult thing to get into anyway. Myself iv only been up north once but the Garda Recruitment just isnt happening for me, so im going for this as il see how i get on. I dont expect to get in but i gotta try...for my sanitys sake. If i dont get in il leave it for a few years and go for templemore when mass recruitment starts again. (i hope)....

    Get past the IST and AC first, then you can start to worry about it. There will always be that added element of danger because of where we're from - but if you stick to your training and have any common sense at all, then naturally you should be grand, regardless of where you are from.

    My fitness test is a few short weeks away - in case you are wondering.

    The chances of been killed in the PSNI shouldn't deter you from joining. Being a detective/Garda in Dublin can be just as dangerous nowadays with scumbags following you home or meeting you in clubs.

    There are ways of minimizing your chances of been targeted like moving across the road from the police station, living in the city center or living in a town with a large Unionist presence.

    Becoming a PC is dangerous no matter what country you're in but you're experience in NI after a couple of years will be priceless and it will attract many future employers no matter where you go. The rewards are worth the risks.

    Think you might mean Catholic, which won't matter to decent people, still wouldn't go broadcasting your job if you've any sense!

    And as a constable you will serve ALL sections of the community - so best keep your "nationalist or other" culture for home time :)

    Not all Unionists are sectarian bigots. Those ones you see on TV are exceptions and are very much in the minority.

    Religion or political belief doesn't play a part in an organisation like the police anymore! Those days are well gone ! Shouldn't even be brought up here by right ! :)
