    This might go to **** but I was thinking (sometimes a bad thing) that we should maintain some list of where everyone is....
    E.g. Those waiting to be appointed, those awaiting vetting, medical, smt, pca, etc.

    I'm sure there are reasons not to do this but it might be helpful for folk to know who to ask questions to.

    Thoughts?

    I think it's a great idea. It will certainly save the same questions being asked over and over again.

    Right, I'll handle this. I think the easiest way for anyone who wants to participate....rather than a load of pages getting filled up on this...... Message me what stage you are at, if you're ft1/2/3, etc, I'll come up with some way of separating it into groups. I'll sort it later when I'm not working lol

    Thanks to those messaging. I'll get a look at this tonight. The plan is to be vague so as to not give anyone away obviously.

    E.g. Username, ft1, waiting on vetting

    Since are probably worrying it'll be more like

    E.g. Username, real name, merit list position, ac score, home address, etc lol

    I hope everyone is taking advantage of this weather to do a bit of prep for the PCA. It's a good way to simulate running in a sauna.........something I'm sure we will all have to do at some point in our future careers......:(

    Not sure if this has been asked and I can’t find information on PCA page. In PSNI PCA YouTube video the fitness instructor puts her foot over the black line at the beginning of the balance beam. I thought your foot had to be before the black line at the beginning and over the second black line at the end. Can anyone shed any light? :)

    Seen on the news George Hamilton said he doesn’t know who to ask for the extra 400 officers. He said he feels he’s being kept in the dark in regards to security post Brexit. Would someone tell the man who to ask lol!

    Normally he would get second opinions and bounce his idea's off his right hand man, the go-to guy, the man for all seasons, DCC Drew Harris. Alas he has abandoned ship for greener pastures lol.

    In my head, that needs to be how he is introduced at any event in a Bruce buffer voice and is just missing the "for the thousands in attendance, and the millions watching at home...."

    OK so I've done an initial version of a list up above for everyone (with a few edits for Late messages) but there's loads more out there. I honestly want everyone to let me know, even if you're sitting there thinking "sure I'll probably not get in with where I am in the merit list".

    Thanks to those who contacted me anyway.

    Hopefully those of us still waiting to do PCA pass it first time, however if we don’t any ideas on the earliest possible time period for the second and final try we are given? I realise it can be done any time during the 12 week programme but how long after first failed test does this begin? Hopefully we all won’t need to find out I again hasten to add!

    First opportunity is two weeks after initial PCA.

    It doesn't count when you get them to sign for free by refusing to uncuff them until they sign though ;)

    The server is really playing up today stopping me from posting anything. Maybe that's a good thing. Was saying about how I hate getting all these emails now into my main account as its giving me false hope. Might block everything for a month that isn't recruitment related..... Might save a few quid doing that in fact ;)

    A lot of that is historic hearing loss claims. When doing firearms training demand double ear protection folks. The figure going forward will be much lower.

    33 million over 5 years is chump change compared to what health trusts pay out.

    Compensation is an extra reason for the PSNI to fully support officers in dangerous situations. Cops get injured, we all know that. No issue.

    Hi, I’m new to the forum and I’m asking on bahalf of a mate. My mate is between 210 and 230 on the merit list and wondering what intake he is likely to be in? Also how are people being informed of the result of their vetting? Any info greatly appreciated
