Hey Ryan- lots are still waiting on vetting at the minute did you receive a letter saying that your recruitment was on hold until further funding or that you were being processed through the remaining stages?

Ryan561 · 26-04-2015 08:20PM

I received the one stating that, the campaign is on hold due to funding and I have been placed on an active list.

Jalapeno peppers · 26-04-2015 08:25PM

It is still normal to be waiting at the minute theres been some speculation about when the next batch will be brought forward have a wee read back over the thread but as far as I know there isn't anything concrete through yet about the next batch

Hi Ryan welcome to the mad ass PSNI hopeful recruits boards family!!! No such thing as a stupid or the new guy question!! We've all been there before

Ryan561 · 26-04-2015 10:52PM

Thanks guys, will do!!

KevBo2015 · 27-04-2015 09:56AM

What region of score did you get during the AC? 60-64 / 65-69 / 70-74 / 75-79?

As far as I know those above 77? got vetting forms, and the Chief Constable has been on the record saying this recruitment will be slower...there is talk that we are all in for a long wait. The merit list from the recent campaign might well be used for 2 financial years, as the planned recruitment in Jan 2015 was cancelled due to budget cuts.

If your AC score is in the 60ies there is a fair wait in front of you it would seem. We are used to waits here haha, call it testing your resilience if you wish.

I've recieved an email from what seems to be an opening to my online learning account? Is anyone else getting this....?

Sthm · 27-04-2015 12:40PM

Yeah, I got it too.

Online learning wasn't available until after PCAs last campaign, so it's a bit more streamline this time. I'd say it's a bit more heartbreaking going through the learning to then fail the PCA, though.

Jalapeno peppers · 27-04-2015 01:15PM

I've got it too guys got two emails one with the login details and one explaining the first one

this is very early makes me think they are looking to intake asap which is great

KevBo2015 · 27-04-2015 01:45PM

Yeah thats what I was thinking.... if they are running it along side the PCA/Medical they are speeding up the process?

It says if you fail the medical or substance misuse test your they will cancel your account... now unless the emails are the exact same as those sent last year. That would imply the medical will be done between the dates we have for online learning... which is quite soon after PCA for most of us. Thoughts?

Jalapeno peppers · 27-04-2015 02:08PM

Yikes that will be a nightmare for me to get time off if that's the case :S surely they would have to allow time for people to get doctors appointmentmenta before the medical?

KevBo2015 · 27-04-2015 02:24PM

I don't know to be fair, I am just saying whats on the email and reading between the lines here. Not too sure, I'd imagine they will have a few weeks between times.

Sthm · 27-04-2015 02:37PM

The spiel on the e-mail is the same as last year's with regards to losing access if you fail any stage. The only difference is that online learning used to follow after passing the PCA.

I had two weeks from PCA to medical. The letter itself will state that it may not be possible to reschedule other than in exceptional circumstances and evidence is required.

Jalapeno peppers · 27-04-2015 02:39PM

Two weeks is pretty tight I am going to book a docs appointment before the PCA so hat it will be there in case I need it- did you get your medical date posted out long after your PCA?

Sthm · 27-04-2015 02:41PM

Medical letter received within two days.

KevBo2015 · 27-04-2015 02:53PM

Why would you be booking an appointment with the doctor between the PCA and medical, do you need to have a doctor sign the forms or what? A little confused here haha.

Jalapeno peppers · 27-04-2015 02:56PM

Apparently there are parts for you to fill out and parts that your GP fills out! Getting an appointment with my GP is like getting blood from a stone so I'm going to book it as soon as possible

Your GP has to fill out a medical questionnaire. You have to bring it with you to the medical assessment

Mop a top · 29-04-2015 09:10AM

If its really that hard to get an appointment I'd book one for a week after your PCA. You'll get your medical booklet when you pass and there's a section you full out and sign. Then there's a part for your GP to check through your answers, they have a section to fill out and sign then that's it. You take that with you on the day of the medical.

Jalapeno peppers · 29-04-2015 09:24AM

I think I'll pre book one and then if I fail it I can just cancel better that than not getting one at all closer to the time!

NEXT MEETING IN PUBLIC: 30th April 2015 in Waterside Tower at 2:30pm You can watch the meeting in public live on You Tube

Goonerdee · 30-04-2015 12:39PM

Has anyone who has passed their medical done so with a minor, but permanent medical issue? I know that's vague, but I didn't want to give away too many personal details.

By the way, I am one of the 'not being processed at the moment' applicants.

KevBo2015 · 30-04-2015 12:43PM

Gone very quiet in here recently...

Hard to know man, there are hundreds of minor medical issues some more serious that others!

I know someone who had knee surgery and failed it then appealed it and got in? Maybe thats a minor as it might be an ongoing issue that comes up if he gets trouble with his knee

HighburyLad · 30-04-2015 02:03PM

Anything on recruitment folks at the meeting? In work or else I would be thoroughly tuned in.

Nothing about recruitment mentioned yet no.

This is from the CC's report to the board:

In this financial year, we expect the greatest operational impact of budget reductions will be felt in terms of reduced recruitment plans leading to reducing officer and staff numbers. With high numbers of police officers retiring and very limited scope for recruitment in 2015-16, it is anticipated that officer numbers will be 6,773 by March 2016. The impact of reductions in police officer numbers will be exacerbated by a significant reduction in overtime.

Catdog33 · 30-04-2015 03:31PM

very limited scope. More of the same I'm afraid!

HighburyLad · 30-04-2015 05:18PM

Wonderbar, as usual! 230 is what foi said, I still think that the recruitment saga etc includes the 3rd campaign that was signed off on but never got the go ahead that was to start in January there, I dont think it's just about us, and when it talks about recruitment possibly meaning a fresh campaign, Im probably deluding myself and trying to make lemonade here, I just hope we all get our shot, we deserve a shot.

QueenP · 30-04-2015 08:24PM

I had my shot and I blew my shot. I'm starting to think there's no such thing as second chances

if this was a Facebook status id be feeling sorry for myself lol
