It's a strange process and nothing is ever transparent or makes sense(to us at least), they seem to do things for some sort of reason, but a little information to candidates wouldn't go amiss.

Other than calls going out to others, I haven't heard anything about campaign 1's recruitment since I recieved my medical pass in early December.

It is very much so, I can't get over how long it takes I know joining the police takes a period of time anywhere but put it this way a friend from here of mine applied for police Scotland in June, and has just start Tullyallen police college, here that wouldn't really be heard of.

Jesus, that's good. I think it's been almost a year and a half since I applied.

I don't know if the PSNI intentionly drag it out just to ensure they get those who are fully committed to joining.

Yeah I think it's to get people whom are committed in joining and getting the right people, here isn't as straight forward as other police services for obvious reasons, so I suppose the process becomes cumbersome due to the nature of the service that we're potentially joining. You lot will be good I have faith that anyone left who has passed everything will get a call, I don't think there is too many left and I can't see them leaving anyone out when they're bringing in people from campaign 2, would be senseless to do so, I think anyway.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. It would be a waste to have spent money on people who have passed everything and not take them.

I can see them taking anyone who passed from campaign 1 and the full amount from 2, as they obviously need recruits seeing as they had planned a third campaign originally.

HighburyLad · 22-01-2015 4:25pm

Yeah I think your right mate, I know you's will get a call, and I'm hoping sometime in the near future I will be joining you's maybe in garnerville at the same time and even serving with some of you lot at the same station lol, you never know

They could be exhausting campaign 1's merit list first before they proceed with the remaining stages of campaign 2. I'm just speculating as those of us who scored the lower 60's in campaign 1 haven't recieved any correspondence stating that we have been unsuccessful, and with what we have assumed up to now is only one more intake left it would make sense to let us know.

I am aware of some members having contacted HR and have been told that there is no set end date for campaign 1, but like anything in this process, things can change.

I dunno, going by how long vetting (Id deal with vetting in my work too, which annoys me even more that existing vetting isn't transferable apparently) can take it would make sense for forms/PCA dates to start going out end of jan /early feb if they're wanting folks from Campaign 2 to start in May

I know what you mean. I was taking the viewpoint that it's not unusual for the process to be delayed at times and that could be why nothing has went out yet.

I really hope things start moving along for everyone very soon as I was part of the delay group in campaign 1 and it's pretty painful having to wait so long after the AC to progress any further.

Sthm · 23-01-2015 9:47am

Likewise with the delay group here. From AC results in March, it wasn't until September that I received vetting forms. Unfortunately, the wait doesn't get any easier the further along the process you go. At least as each day passes, we're all getting closer to the goal, no matter what stage of the process you're at.

I'd probably expect the process to start rolling for campaign two pretty soon now. I'm on a 78-80 AC score, so I would love for vetting forms to arrive, even to get my mind off campaign one for a while.

Little M Sunshine. · 23-01-2015 10:46am

I'm the same again. I was in the delayed group of campaign one - I got an AC score almost 30% higher in Campaign two (88-94%). I got vetting forms today.

QueenP · 23-01-2015 10:51am

All systems go Gang!! Train like mad!! Believe me u don't wasn't to fail the fitness!! Cardio and strength all the way!!

So glad I was wrong about delays

.

fish2690 · 23-01-2015 10:58am

Glad to know the ball is rolling again! Although Little M's AC is about 20% higher than mine! If anybody else receives their forms today or soon would you mind saying and letting us know what kind of AC score you are on so we know where we are at?

Does anybody have any idea of timescales? Would they come out around every 5 weeks like calls do?

Suzuka · 23-01-2015 11:01am

Arrrrgh! My post doesn't come until the afternoon so i can't even go check at lunch haha I'd be in the 80%-90% bracket (without giving my score away lol)

Be interesting to see who all gets forms who scored 80%-100%, would give us an inkling on how many scored very high ie if people who scored 80%-85% don't get forms then I'd assume alot scored 85%-100%

KevBo2015 · 23-01-2015 11:37am

My vetting forms have arrived. A C score of A*.

KevBo2015 · 23-01-2015 11:38am

I I got vetting forms.today too. AC score A* in the 80-85% range. Ball.is.officially rolling guys....

HighburyLad · 23-01-2015 11:42am

Happy days folks though I don't expect mine for a wee while, which I'm happy enough with, just to polish off on the old fitness

fish2690 · 23-01-2015 11:44am

Just enrolled on another course at Jellyschool

Icarus9 · 23-01-2015 11:52am

I suspect anyone with an A or above will get forms today. Any PCA info or just vetting rolling through?

So just vetting forms? Wonder when PCA dates will come out. I'm 70-75% so probably another wee while to wait

I'm an A but my post I think is going to my parent address so don't know if mine arrived but I reckon it will be the high A* first.

I feel sick now knowing that the ball is rolling again!! ðŸ˜·ðŸ˜·

HighburyLad · 23-01-2015 12:13pm

There isn't any pca dates just yet, guys with your vetting forms?

Thanks Willow, well you folks are on the way to be in the first squad of 1405

good luck all with the remainder of the process

Rezone · 23-01-2015 1:12pm

Forms just came! Scored 79 % so looks like its all A/A* for now.

countrycop · 23-01-2015 1:22pm

first time poster here, sitting on a score mid 70s grade A, would I be correct in thinking ive just missed the first cut? How often to vetting forms go out and could there be more sent out tomorrow or will it be a number of weeks now?

Thanks in advance.

geezoh · 23-01-2015 1:28pm

Got mine too 78...

Sthm · 23-01-2015 1:44pm

Received mine too.

Fingers crossed I don't need it and it'll free up a space for one of you guys.

.S. · 23-01-2015 2:09pm

Great news people. I'm A, mid 70s score, no forms for me yet. Even if they don't arrive tomorrow/mon I'm pleased the balls rolling, I won't be far behind yas I hope!

did the send vetting forms out over a couple of days last campaign or will it be 4/5 weeks before the next batch goes out?

.S. · 23-01-2015 2:14pm

Can't honestly remember. I'm assuming if there's nothing by mon we'll be the next lot

QueenP · 23-01-2015 2:40pm

I think it was 4-6 weeks from last campaign guys. Altho I didn't follow the forum as much then! I'm mid-high 60's same score as last time. I'm guessing I'll get mine about end of April/ start of May, pca June. Going on what way it went last time. Hope this helps

the411 · 23-01-2015 3:54pm

I got high 60's last campaign, and received my vetting forms 6 days after the results came out.

do you know how far apart each batch of vetting forms are?

KevBo2015 · 23-01-2015 4:05pm

I assume the pca date will be out within next few weeks then? Vetting forms are chunky enough! 20 years history haha who remembers where they lived 20 years ago!

I know of another who got forms today also high 70 score. Good luck guys.

I know a guy who was nearly 70's and he got his real soon after the results lol trying not give anything away here haha. In squad terms if I'd passed there was an intake between us for the sake of 2 marks. Just all depends on whose scored what I suppose lol.

So just to clarify nobody in low 70's has received vetting forms? It's high 70's +?

Well done btw guys now get all ur info sorted asap the timescale will be nearly gone before you's know it

Ps if it's any help my vetting letter came on one day and my pca came the next day! But again I suppose it just all depends.

I'm mid 70's but didn't get forms today

WannabePC · 23-01-2015 5:26pm

Good to hear the ball is rolling finally! Hopefully we'll all get forms through soon enough! I'll be sure to post if I get them through!

Suzuka · 23-01-2015 5:42pm

Got the vetting forms too

Sthm · 24-01-2015 1:23pm

Anyone else receive a letter today re campaign two?

Just says your application is now being processed through the remaining stages, please refrain from contacting us unless it's regarding a change of circumstances etc.

Was sweating opening it thinking it was a Dear John for campaign one.

I haven't.. But then I'm not sure if I gave them my parents address or my own when applying at the time so will check with my mum.

What mark did you get in your AC? (Roughly)

It's the same correspondence the last group in campaign one, which I was part of, received. It was an e-mail that time though so that's why I was a bit surprised to see a letter roll out.

I got roughly 78-80.

I did too lol

Rezone · 24-01-2015 1:39pm

Yeah got one too, thought it was my PCA!

countrycop · 24-01-2015 1:48pm

Congrats on being the first to be contacted. I'm guessing you both recieved your vetting forms yesterday? If you are from campaign one, did they send vetting forms out in batches every 4-6 weeks?

Cheers! Yeah, I did receive mine yesterday.

Scored between 61-62 last time round, so I had to wait from results in March to September to receive vetting forms. Still in the running for that (touch wood) but I'm glad to be progressing a bit quicker this time. The vetting forms do usually go out every 4-5 weeks or so, so the next batch shouldn't be waiting too long.

Hope you recieve good news from campaign one

hopefully in the next few weeks we will find out what numbers are being taken for this campaign.

ZeGerman · 26-01-2015 10:05pm

I'm assuming it's just those that have received vetting forms that have also received the letters?

countrycop · 26-01-2015 10:11pm

That seems to be the case. I'd like to think next week after the board meeting we have a definitive number for potential recruits for this campaign

KevBo2015 · 26-01-2015 10:41pm

Yeah whats the deal with the letters? Basically saying its a long process, inform us of any personal changes and don't contact this office lol?

Does this mean the PCA dates will be pushed back? Means more time for training I guess...

Sthm · 26-01-2015 11:05pm

The letter is a carbon copy of an e-mail sent to the last batch in campaign one. It was sent a while before vetting and PCA invites for that batch. No other batches received it and my guess is they realised leaving people in the dark for months with no correspondence wasn't exactly great. Therefore, they'll now send letters to each batch just before they start phasing.

That's just me surmising the reasons but I'm quite confident that PCA dates etc will not be delayed. I'd guess PCAs will be held by February.
