I just applied to the City Police and for some reason I can't stop quivering! I tell thee, my heart jumped into my mouth when I saw the recruitment thing on Police Could You.
And I must say the lady on the other end of the phone was very friendly too. I doubt I'll get in as I'm still working on various qualifications and things that would hopefully improve my chances, but I suppose it's worth a go.
But yes, I believe the deadline is May 15th, or around that time.
Good luck ladies and gentlemen!

Good luck - Regular or SC?
I would think Regular as it is titled "City looking for coppers" and after a little investigation work on the policecouldyou website, I can confirm that it is Regulars

qualifications have nothing to do with improving your chances of getting in , its how you fill out the application form and do at the assesment centre.

The application pack came today, how exciting! It's jolly thick too I must say. I'll need to dash off into Cardiff tomorrow to get the opticians form filled in.
Anyone else applying?

Whoops! Made a few errors on the form, might not be applying after all. It's amazing the mistakes you make when you start filling in forms on autopilot.
Nevermind, learning experience and all that.

Already did that, they said I should cover it over with a blank piece of paper. So I shall conceal my mistakes with a cunning use of continuation sheets!
It's not on my competency questions, just on the details bits, liking putting the wrong thing in the wrong box. I'm going to show it to one of my lecturers to get their opinion on whether I should send it in or not. Either way, we live and learn!

I suppose it depends how many mistakes you've made. if it's one or two then don't worry...If it's starting to look like a 15 year old boy's face who's just started shaving then you might need a replacement!
I notice their website says they've had an overwhelming response and have stopped giving anymore apps out.
