Is it commonplace (based on previous campaigns) to have a pool of candidates with everything passed who end up just not getting a call? Would anyone know this either from past experience or hearsay?

If they're still still putting people through medicals I'd say they'll do another one hopefully 2 intakes. It's not a good feeling and I totally sympathise with anyone who doesn't make it that far but you have to keep reapplying and trying. Took me long enough lol. You'll get there
iamveryhopeful wrote: » What I don't get is, if they are only going to go ahead with maybe another two intakes for the 1405 campaign, why did they send vetting info out not long ago to some. Surely with some people on here saying their vetting took 6 months or so, then its a bit of a blunder on their part (psni's part)? I dunno. Suppose just wait and see and fingers crossed I passed assessment centre for 1509 for worst case scenario lol. :P

Johannes_Cabal wrote: » Nothing makes sense with PSNI recruitment lol. So much money seems to get wasted putting people through each stage and then not offering a place or redoing PCAs/medical/vetting after 6 months have passed. I understand the reasoning behind why the latter needs to be done but it just seems wasteful.

Pretty much had my life on hold since 2013 but for me it's worth it and I'm not saying that now I'm starting, I had totally written off this campaign as Highbury would definitely confirm and I was waiting on my shot in C3, pretty much another 2 years. If anything it will test your resolve and patience just about as much as the job will, whatever happens, embrace it, it's tough if it doesn't go your way, I collapsed on the floor and poured my heart out, I was so sure I was getting in. It taught me patience and not to take anything for granted, they were the personal lessons I needed to learn. I know everyone isn't the same as me but that's what I had to think to get through the disappointment and heartbreak. I'm not sure if I believe in fate or not but when I compare my life to then, there's no way I could have managed my family and the training. I'm in a much better place now and we're all set, kids too, for this mental time lol and I can't help but think that things happen for a reason. It's a tough job to get into and it's tougher training and I'm sure the job will be more so but I've no doubt it will, for me, be totally worth it. Just keep going and keep applying, if it's for you it won't pass you and I wouldn't write off C2 until you officially hear anything. Stay positive

Depends on numbers and budget. However, they still have to progress people to be ready to go in in case people decline the offer etc. Fingers crossed for you all. I know your pain all too well

Anyone I know from my hometown have all been placed in the same station, which is odd. Around abouts 45 minute drive each way... Is this the norm do you think?
