Hey guys, I\'ve not been about recently but I\'ve managed to find some time to make this post.
Some of you may remember but about a month back I posted a topic that explained that I had an interview with the UK Kent police force, well some of you asked me to post the results, good or bad.
Well I hadn\'t heard anything from them for just about 4 weeks after they told me that I would hear from them in letter form 3 weeks after the interview date, well I got the results today.
I passed with flying colours, so now after 15 years of dreaming, 4 years of trying I have finally managed to get through. All that remains now is a Medical exam (on me :redface::redface:) and a fitness test, Which in truth shouldn\'t be to hard since I work out at the gym / swim and play regular amount of sports that require a good level of fitness (Including painting).
I also just want to say thanks to everyone that gave me such encouragement on these forums, top lads and lasses. Thank you all.
So that\'s it, I can finally relax and look forward to a great summer.

Nick.

Fitness test? :p lol
They\'ve made it so easy now a one-legged asthmatic could pass it :)

Now, if you can the PSU test or the Dog handler training in 2 years, then I\'ll be impressed :)

mrrocknroll : Congratulations You\'re in a Real job at last. Now all you have to do is avoid all the political correctness bullshit involved with modern policing. Best advice I can give you, Get teamed up with a 10/12 year veteran and learn from them.



@SG2009 and Alextheartist: I\'m going to be very blunt here. My father was a 30 year veteran of the Blue uniform. A Firearms Instructor and Police Marksman in the 60\'s, 70\'s and 80\'s, my best friend is a 15+ veteran, one of my Aunts was a Police Inspector and one of my nephews is a serving officer. Each and every one of them will tell you that your attitude of wanting to go in as a police marksman will rule you out.
The criteria for police Armed Response Units is SO HIGH that my friend, a former Royal Marine and the best shot I\'ve ever seen, (and I was a Class 1 Competitive Marksman, averaging 98/100) Failed the training.

And yes there is a serious need for life experience. To be brutally honest the last thing anyone needs is a teenager in a uniform with no knowledge of how to handle an aggressive Drunken Asshole on a Friday Night.
Get some understanding of real life situations, relationships and working life stresses before \"stepping up\" and it\'ll do you more good than all the text book Sociology or Criminology classes you could ever attend.


@james sequeira: James I\'ll also be blunt PCSO\'s are despised. They are \"Copping\" on the cheap and accuratley described as Cardboard Cutout Cops. They have no powers of action, arrest or restraint and are more circumscribed than an ordinary citizen. At least if I\'m threatened or attacked I can defend myself. They are a pathetic political attempt to cover up the failure of modern police forces to manage the human aspect of police work which is being buried under a mountian of Political Correctness paperwork and Statistical targets.
If you want to wear Blue \'Suck it Up\' and either apply Straight or apply to be a Special Constable.

To all of you; at 18 I could have applied to be a Police Cadet, but I had neither the experience, knowledge nor capacity to do the job. Now as a \'mature\' adult I know fine well I could deal with the crap the job throws out, but thankfully I\'m too old and too sensible, to do it.

DaN, that programme was the nadir of British comedy :mad: lol

I would like to see some decent community policing. I miss seeing the bobby on the beat. I\'m not that old, but I do recall it being an occurrence in the old street and surrounding area. That\'s the way forward to my mind.

Good luck!

Congratulations from over here too.

I suppose this means I have to lay off the \'glocoma medicine\' comments too for fear of losing my stash as well? :drunk:

Actually i would rather be a police driver, but i cant think of a 15yr old teenager who wouldnt want to be a marksman (i know the chances of actually being one, but its something to aspire to).
