Yes, you're right Central London Police Station, it's near Tottenham court road tube station. I started off there for about 2 months before moving on...as an SC to another station.

Have it on good authority that they are recruiting for a very small amount of PCSO's

Usually, external candidates wait 6 months in between PC applications.
PCSO is Police Staff and I've never heard of a 6-month gap being required between application processes... It's definitely worth giving HR/Recruitment a bell and asking.

I advised someone else to ring up as well as i cant see the rule applying to police staff jobs

You can apply, the 6 month rule is seperate for each of the 3 frontline roles; specials, regs, pcsos

[Cardiff Bluebirds]

Any idea where the Wales and Western positions are ? I assume not Birmingham as they have not long advertised for there and taken on.

Ta.

[Keiron]

On the application it asks you to tick the station that you want to apply for and the distance from your home should influence your choice. I ticked Swansea, Newport, Cardiff, Bristol and Carmarthen, there were other stations there but was unsure if they could come back and say they had no vacancies in the station I chose so I chose multiple stations.

[Cardiff Bluebirds]

The one I completed just had the division now stations.......
I didnt think they had PCSOs away from Cardiff and Pontypridd SNTs ?

[Eski]

is there gonna be the same carry-on that everyone experienced with reg recruitment

[Eski]

Surprised how deathly quiet it is on this thread! Has anybody received any info since submitting their application?

[Keiron]

Nothing from me as of yet. I did phone to see if they received my application, which they have.
Im guessing I won't hear anything back until at least January.

After waiting months and months for rejection from the recent PC recruitment campaign, I found out today (2 weeks after applying) that I have an AC for PCSO! :-)

Recruitment officer said it will be on 26th November so I imagine that anyone still waiting will find out soon enough whether they have been successful.

Good luck to everyone else still waiting!
