    Just on the salary note. Who knows what the actual income is when you first join in GV and when starting on the ground?

    Payscales have been revised there in the last few weeks starting in GV is £19773 and starting on the ground is £23124 you need to add danger money to both those

    The starting salary for student officers will be £19,578. At graduation, student officers become Constables and move on to point 1. In addition to the above, the Northern Ireland Transitional Allowance is also payable (£3,195 per annum).

    From Points 2 to 7 the officer moves up the pay scale in line with their incremental date and subject to satisfactory performance as assessed in their individual performance reviews. An officer’s incremental date is normally the anniversary of the date that they joined the service.

    1710 is different both in pace and methodolgy that 1509 so treating them as direct comparators isn't really appropriate is it?

    1509 had the cheating scandal, the collapse of the executive which tightened purse strings (hence the decision to exhaust the list rather than chin it off, i.e. they didn't know whether 1710 would happen or not) now they have funding from Westminster so money is not an issue as denying 28 day clubbers their retirement would cost a lot more.

    I'm not using it as a comparison I was simply saying some people have waited a long time in previous campaigns and that they typically dont have a summer squad.

    As I have previously stated I have it on good knowledge that the first squads won't be until August at the earliest

    Ok that's fine but again you just said not to compare the two recruitment so.....

    No the point you were making was that there is no summer intakes... the July 3017 intake probably had something to do with catching up after cheating scandal...

    Not comparing 1509 to 1710. My point is even if that is the general practice it's not a rule. No one was fast tracked in 1509, and as the PSNI have started a squad in July before without a fast tracked pool.... it is reasonable to assume that there is a possibility of 1710 fast trackers starting in june/July.

    The evidence suggests as such

    And as I've stated I'm in gv and I have it on good knowledge there'll be no squad until August ... You're simply guessing that there maybe a July squad.

    I appreciate your comment about summer squads not being a rule but it's typically the way it works gv pretty much shuts down during July for parade season

    I don't think the PSNI would be so counter intuitive to have fast tracked people and then start them in August when a good few of the main body will be appointable by then...

    Ok that's fine well agree to disagree and wait and see what happens.

    Very few people from previous campaigns come back to chat to people it's not a wonder

    If there was no fast track there probably wouldn't even have been people ready for a squad in August so maybe it's just to ensure there is a pool definitely ready to go

    Exactly! The squad in August is starting in August bearing in mind you get a call 6 weeks prior and go to induction 4 weeks prior to starting.

    For anyone who trusts what I'm saying that means calls end of June for top scorers or fast trackers :) which is an extremely quick turn around :)

    Congrats to everyone btw :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 111 ✭✭Anotherhopeful


    If anyone wants to PM me any questions go ahead I'll try answer anything I can :) although I had a relatively easy recruitment with minimal hiccups :) but I understand what it's like waiting and not knowing I did it for 3 years it's very stressful


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 198 ✭✭Nap702


    Let's say they take on everyone on the 17/10 can someone guesstimate when the last squad will be in GV

    Trying to get idea how long I may have to wait providing I pass the rest of the stages

    How long is a piece of string? I know it's vague it depends on how many pass, how big the squads can be, there's loads of variables sorry

    Appreciate you coming back to give some insight. Perhaps you could shed some light on how long some of us could be waiting? For example, my AC score was 65. The merit list should be passed to the PSNI within the next 2/3 weeks as far as I'm aware.

    Not sure if you're able to, but realistically, when could someone with my score be looking at starting GV, assuming having passed all the other stages.

    Also, the classes, I assume there isn't one class at a time in GV? Surely they do a good whack (inner culchie showing) of people at one time?

    A lot of us here seem to be on the same boat in that this is something we definitely want, but for me, I don't know if I'm up for waiting for a year before hearing anything, a lot can change in peoples lives in such a long time frame. Surely people lose interest at such a slow rate.

    EDIT: I see you've sort of answered the first question already. I suppose it is a much of a muchness. Who knows. How long were you waiting, and if you don't mind what was your score?

    So first squad from your campaign will be August calls going out end of June they tend to do calls every 6 weeks after squads are usually 50max but can be as small as 14.

    Yea people give up and can't be bothered waiting. Waiting is all part of it if you want it bad enough you'll wait. Harsh but true. If your a top scorer they tend to get through them pretty quick and if they're planning a new recruitment in Autumn, if I've heard right, I wouldn't say you will be waiting too long especially at the rate you're all flying through at the minute.

    Have you done medical or pca yet?


  • Registered Users Posts: 111 ✭✭Anotherhopeful


    My score was 55 I was the bottom end of my recruitment. I was waiting almost the 3 yrs it's a long wait but it'll be worth it all :) if you're in a good job at the minute and you don't hate it just let recruitment run in the background apply for the next campaign if you haven't progressed through by then

    'Have you done medical or pca yet?'

    No, not yet. I'm not fast-tracked, but with 65, I'm hoping that's a fairly high score. Were you fast-tracked? Are people not fast-tracked just as likely to get into GV as those who are?

    It seems this is the first time they have fast tracked people and in the last recruitment they took everyone that was on the merit list that passed everything so with a score of 65 I'm sure you will get a place as long as you pass everything else :)
