    What's the pay like compared to here? As I have considered trying across the pond if unsuccessful.

    "Instead, the PSNI intends to make a number of changes to the recruitment process, reducing the timescale from initial selection test to appointment from 12 months to six months."

    "The PSNI is also considering the benefits of introducing an apprenticeship scheme as an alternative entry to the rank of constable."

    What's your thoughts? An easier or harder entry ?

    I wonder how they would carry out an apprenticeship for the PSNI though, would it be through Garnerville? I imagine providing it externally would pose a security risk to apprentices.

    If it was carried out in Garnerville how would this differ/ be more beneficial to the current recruitment/training process?

    I'd guess the main benefit of an apprenticeship style programme would be the the option to pay trainees far less than the current salary.

    "A new recruitment drive is to be launched in the Autumn"... pushed back again perhaps?

    Still says "New Year" on the join PSNI website, maybe just hasn't been updated yet.

    My guess would be longer processes but pay less as well with an apprentice scheme.
    The 6 month slashed from 12 month turn a round in recruitment will be good for us tho. Multiple chances to get in within a year.
    I think the apprenticeship would be the longer alternative to the normal processes which would go on anyway. But again who knows.
    I'm 25 so taking a longer route is an option but for others it may not be the case.

    In my view it makes sense both logistically and from adminstration point of view will make things a lot easier.

    I do feel however the shorter timeframe will lead a lot of people to get in but no make it through probation.

    Allowing people to transfer into the PSNI from other Forces, now that would be a good idea! Why has this been overlooked again!

    The amount of people I know who want to transfair back is crazy. If that was extrapolated out UK wide I'm sure you could fill a couple of intakes at GVille no problem.

    Absolutely, tonnes of us locals doing the job in the mainland crying out to get home. They are missing out on real experience from keen cops.

    At the end of the day there will come a reckoning because the PSNI is at breaking point. The new centralised custody system has a crew who arrest someone out of action for atleast an hour and a half.

    "In response to the findings, the initial selection test will be carried out online, so that candidates do not have to physically attend." bbc news.

    Online is interesting as it can relieve the nerves for some people.

    We've all been through the IST and seen how strict they are with ID etc...how do they validate that the person taking the test online is who they say they are?

    Ive applied for jobs where you do the online initial part. In those jobs you had to do another one at the next phase to prove it was you who could do it.

    I was thinking that. Surely that would defeat the purpose however of moving it out of the public exam halls? I mean, their stated intention was that they thought that sort of environment was discouraging for catholics? Do you think the questions will be harder than the IST in previous campaigns, given that there is the potential for cheating sitting the tests at home?

    Does anyone have any more information re: next campaign date? I've heard from officers and PSNI staff that it is to be launched in May but this Belfast Telegraph article contradicts that. Is it a mistake perhaps? Can mods confirm?

    The nifrs have went down a similar path of online tests so I would say in all likelyhood the psni will implement dependent on the sucess of it

    The radio also said it would be held in autumn, hopefully its not true but with all these changes happening it's likely
