Was on the consensia website looking at detective jobs.
Is it possible to progress into that side of it, special investigation etc?

it says ; Must be a substantive Detective Constable, or have been a Detective Constable in a crime role for 1 year (including Aideship) within the last 7 years (includes service with any other Police Force).
Must demonstrate experience in investigations, and demonstrate what you brought to the enquiry.

Anyone know how it works?

PapaYankeeGirl · 15-09-2008 5:55pm

Not sure, but i know of a guy that finished his 2 years probation then applied for CID and got in straight away.

goodcopbadcop · 15-09-2008 5:57pm

Sure il find out how it all works. First chance I get to get promoted Im going for it. Thats what good about this job, lots of different areas to get into.

PapaYankeeGirl · 15-09-2008 6:29pm

True, though CID would definately not be one id go for!!

Just a question for everyone who's applying...

Has Anyone applying not got a full driving licence or in the stages of trying to pass their test or did everyone have licences before they applied??

Hey am still on my big red "R" plates, cannot wait to get them off (8 wks and counting!), feel such a twat as am not a teenager, far from it, was very lazy in getting around to getting the books! Don't know that I would be confident enough to zip about in a polis car! would gladly be chauffeured about (that's partly the reason it took me so long to get the test done!!!) People are very rude to new drivers, have never experienced as much ignorance as i have in the last year, there are some mental cases on the road!

PEGGYSUE'S MAMA · 15-09-2008 10:48pm

Just while I am on here, does anyone know how I'd stand if I say I was offered a job but wanted to defer my start? I have a holiday booked to Cuba in Jan/Feb09, was booked before i even applied, would really hate to have to cancel as it'd likely mean that I would lose alot of money, my other half, as much as he is supporting me in this whole process, would be mightily peeved if he didn't get his fortnight of the 3 s's! any comments would be very much appreciated!

cheers:cool:

I dont think deferring will be a problem as long as you have a valid reason and are able to prove it. General thinking is that the first intake of C14 is likely to be January so depending on your vetting clearing and your medical you might not be eligible for that intake. I'd say cross that bridge if you come to it!

Hi mate, think you may have been looking at the part of the website that deals with experienced detectives from other forces transferring to the psni.
I have been told this by a friend serving in CID: You may apply for CID or any other specialist role after your 2 years probation. However, if you sit your sergeants exam as a 'uniform' and are promoted you will not be eligible to transfer into CID as a DS. This is because you can't manage a team of DC's without experience in that field of work. So apply for CID, get the transfer and then work towards your promotion if you want. Hope this helps
