    I have recently completed all managed stages and received all the individual emails to confirm they have been passed. Just waiting on the call. Do I get an email from the recruitment team to confirm you completed everything and advise of next part of the process or just wait for a call.

    If you have completed everything then yes you just wait for a call. Ring up 101 and ask for recruitment. Have your UID handy. They will categorically confirm which stages are passed/outstanding and if you are appointable.

    Hi new to the forum, had my medical recently and just received an email to go for a review pre-placement health assessment. Just wondering if anyone could shed any light on what this might be for?

    Apologies for taking this slightly off topic.

    To anyone who has already done/those waiting to do the PCA.

    What did you do/are doing to try and prepare yourself? Just trying to pick up some things that I'm not currently doing already.

    I'm currently doing a mixture of weights, cardio/interval training and plan on doing some circuit classes in my local gym, though this might have to be limited to one a week.

    The PCA is probably the only part of this process that worries me the most (Vetting in 2nd place) haha. I've spoken to several police officers and they've all said the same thing. That its not as hard as people make it out to be. I'm not so sure of that after reading some of the posts on here lol. A work colleague told me about his friend who done it 2 years ago. He was a big guy who wasn't fit at all. He failed the first time and passed on his retry. Hearing about him makes me feel a whole lot better about it. Though the worry is real haha.

    Any advice is greatly appreciated.

    P

    It's not that difficult if you have a half decent level of fitness. I would suggest doing lots of running and plenty of sit ups, press ups, lunges and burpees etc. Just short, high intensity sessions that get your heart rate going. That's what you will be mainly doing in Garnerville. After your 6 months you do it again and everyone takes a big chunk off their time so it definitely works. Unless you're very slight build I wouldn't worry too much about weights at all. The quickest people are always the young guys who weigh about 9 stone rather than the weightlifters lol

    As a student you get the basic salary plus the special allowance. Once you are a constable your salary increases. There is no additional payment for shift allowances. If you work on a public holiday you get double time. Overtime is paid at different rates depending how much notice you get. Maximum is double time.

    You'll get details once you start on how you can confirm your income without having to say you work for the police

    Hi there was just wondering do you receive a confirmation that the recruitment team received your online learning statement? Just worried they didn’t receive it

    Also is anyone else appealing medical outcome? I’ve informed them I am appealing but haven’t heard anything since

    Thanks

    I received a response 2 days later confirming they had received my online learning.

    For any of my medical stuff it was exactly a week later but could be delayed due to the holidays

    Hello. Long time lurker, first time poster. This forum, and especially this thread, has been really good for information throughout this process, so thanks everyone for your updates. I'm ML 550-600, vetting passed roughly a fortnight ago after approximately 3 1/2 months. I see the calls have been made this week. Because of my ML ranking, I don't expect to hear anything until the next set of calls(roughly every 5 weeks). If you have got the call this week, it would be great to know roughly whereabouts your are on the ML list just for my own knowledge (and sanity).
    Thanks in advance.

    My ML is between 405-415.
    The wait is a killer!
    My vetting took 20 weeks to clear so they may be further down the merit list than my score....
