PSNI Recruitment 1509 Campaign

Vetting forms sent off today! So glad to get them away. Had to laugh at me sitting in work putting on a fullface of makeup to go get my pictures taken.

I have the fear ive missed something so going to take them home to check over tonight and post tomorrow first thing!

I went over them soooooo many times. It started to wreck my brain.
Looked them over with fresh eyes this morning and happy enough.

I tore my house upside down looking for my spare photos I had taken like couple months ago just to avoid make up and hair as was in such a rush today...ended up having to do the full works anyway lol Grrr! It does feel like a weight lifted when posted doesn't it!

Moving a lot quicker than I expected reading previous posts, we've been lucky so far - and so may it continue. However, I'm expecting a slow down in May as passing out parades begin

Also, been talking to a friend today in GV who said there will be only 2 squads out of 5 in GV by August.

I've went to university overseas so I'm worried that will slow down my vetting

I'm the same regarding vetting. Starting to think it will take forever, too many uni/home addresses over the years for it to be processed quickly.

2 squads out of 5? They think there will be 5 in total then?

On vetting forms did people put down speed awareness course??

I didn't however now that you've mentioned it should i stick it down?

As I said, personally I would. It's still recorded that you committed a speeding offence. You were only offered the awareness course because you met certain criteria.

It does say excluding parking and speeding, which makes me think it's not needed but I'm not sure

My apologies. That bit no. I thought you meant the other bit that asked for all convictions etc.
In essence it's better to be fully honest on vetting forms in my opinion.

Yeah I'll just add it anyway! This form is horrendous! Worried I've done stuff wrong!

Forms sent, going to be on my mind for the next few months no doubt.

Looks like PCA for top scorers will b start of June and working down the merit list from there. Letters being sent in the next 2 wks or so.

They won't take a squad over the summer because of parade duty so I'd guess the first one of C3 will be Sept/Oct time.

Where has this information come from?[/quote]

Someone in the know lol. But as ever it's just a waiting game!!

First squad will probably go in around September time

What does that actually mean? Does that mean we're out? Ive got nothing yet. No letter, no forms. Ive a friend in c2 and he only got his online learning email 2wks ago and has yet to do his PCA

It just means they will process us when/if the funds are available.

It could be that in 6 months time we are going through the remaining stages/still waiting or have been told the campaign is closed.

No one can be sure, but personally I'm being optimistic about our chances, it helps me to stay motivated to train for the PCA so that I am prepared for if/when we get to that stage.

It might be worthwhile contacting recruitment to see why you haven't received anything yet. Have you moved since you filled in the application?

Anybody get a 'not processing your application at this time' letter in the post?

Yeah buddy, quite a few. Appears to be those of us who scored below 65, I wouldn't worry though just means more time to prepare for the PCA if/when we do get processed.

They are taking an extra 100 from C2 before they start into C3. That's why your friend has got his online learning and we haven't yet. C3 is being done in batches so it seems to be 65 and over in the first group and the rest are on hold. Doesn't mean you're out though - just that they'll contact u in due course.

I like you doctor no... You seem to be in the know
