might be worth scanning and reprinting your own blank version, as long as your upfront about it i cant see a problem, i did it with a security form for a job i was doing


I'll telephone them on Monday and suggest that, thank you very much! Now, just need to think of something to put in my communication competency...

I rang C.O.L.P yesterday and the very helpful lady on the end of the phone took my details and said that she would send me out an application pack. She did say they were waiting for more packs to come in and that it would take about 4 days!!

Good luck to all who apply!
Mikey.

That doesn't exactly fill me with optimism! Well done on getting a form and extension, how did you manage that? Sounds like you're being head-hunted! :prone:

Sent off my rather battered form this morning, I hope they read all of the forms..

I originally rang to enquire and had a lengthy chat, however it appears that initially I may not have actually requested the application form! I went back to the website to get the number again and saw that the recruitment was closed! My hopes fell until I found a small scrawled note in the back of my PNB! Rang up, lady remembered me!!!! She said overwhelming response meant that there was a slight shortage in forms...extension given...handy as my optician won't do my form so I've got to find another one who will!

Headhunted :D not if the City of London Police DS at City Uni remembers me :prone:

Oooh, well done!

I got a letter yesterday from them and I was really worried. This is it! I was thinking, acceptance or a great big dirty failure! So I got my house-mate to read it as I was too nervous and it turned out it was just a letter saying they had received my form! :D Getting all worked up for nothing!

have 8 CP PC's on my intake at Uni at the moment. Uni finishes in November as we're on the 2nd last course with both BTP /CP pulling out and it will be going back to the old way of roughly 20 weeks theory and 10 weeks pdu phases.

If the person I know gets in on the next intake (day 1 is in August) - does that mean they'll be on the back to the old way?

City are also pulling out of Uni too and going there own way, so whether anyone gets a 'degree' out of it is up in the air.
As for btp our pdu will be taking over at Camden next year.

I very much doubt any time soon - there's a load of us still in the system waiting for start dates, and the rumour is that some of us may not be recruited until October next year (if at all). :whistle:

Well i came on to see how people were getting along from the recruitment campaign in Feb (?) and after reading that i'm gutted for you.:(
Hope you don't have to wait that long.

Thanks mate. I actually don't mind waiting - it's just the uncertainty over whether we'll get a start date. To be fair, City have said that we definitely will be taken on at some point, but with all the spending cuts etc it's natural I guess for me to have an element of doubt in my mind.

It sounds like patience is the key.
At least COLP have said they will take you on eventually, chin up. :evil:
