    Hi lads and girls I am 18 years old and recently applied to the PSNI and I have been issued a date to attend the IST. Do you think with my age that I really stand a chance becoming a police constable. Surely they would want someone older and with a bit more life experience?

    Your age is only a number. One of the guys to graduate a few months back was only just 19. Put your head down and work hard and there's no reason why you wouldn't make it!

    My Mrs is down with the flu, she's issuing orders on how to use the washing machine from the sofa!! I'll be a pro by the time we start training!!

    Just be clear, I'm hopeless at ironing!! I'm hoping to off load it, not the boot polishing. I'll shine boots til the cows come home if I get a good shirt ironed!! :)

    I had to get one before for a passport years ago...guess what? Lost it - so after getting the call the other day I went straight down to the office and got another one! Hopefully won't lose this one this time around!

    PE kit,

    Gonna be hard pushed to find plain black shorts and top with no logo etc on them.

    Surely a Nike "tick" or addidas or simliar logo would be ok provided it not huge??

    Was thinking that myself - plain black top "should" be ok, but as you say a small logo of the manufacturer shouldn't cause offence...

    Small / discrete sports logos are fine. Class mates have recommended decathlon, I just went to sports direct and got the more low key Nike stuff. Plus they're only concerned what gym clothes your in in pe / if in gym between 9-5. Outside of those hours when you do your own sessions you can wear whatever as long as no offensive logos

    Hi, long time lurker here, first time posting. I'm on the merit list with a score between 69-72. I am a little behind as I had to miss my first PCA date but as of today have passed everything except vetting (I may be cleared but haven't heard anything good or bad). My worry is I get the call to start with you guys and I'm due to be out of country first 2 weeks of January. Without revealing exact dates would anybody be able to advise if January intake would conflict with this. Would hate to have to defer if I did get call.

    If everything is cleared now boston then there's a possibility that you'll get a call. If it does happen but your gonna be out of the country the first two weeks of January, then your gonna have to defer to the next intake mate.

    My advice is sit tight and see how it pans out for you.

    Congrats on getting the call! I'm just wondering why do people get the call so many days after everyone else? Is it because people have turned down the place at GV?

    Registered Users Posts: 184 ✭✭Midgetgem84


    Could be people dropping out yeah which opens up other places. The vetting panel only meet every so often as well to approve or decline cases so possibly people who were high enough on the merit lists vetting cases were looked at lately and they were given spots that were left vacant. Maybe someone else can confirm or deny?
