Hi everyone, long time lurker on this and the 1710 campaign. Firstly congratulations on how far you have got 😠I work as a police civilian and if I can help you with any questions just ask and I will do my best to give honest answers, some of the answers on here are a bit misleading. Currently there is internal promotions for all grades and the interviews will probably not finish until September for the lower grades. The biggest intake will be taken after that once staff are promoted however on the last promotion it took nearly 9 months for staff movements. So hang in there and maybe I’ll get to work along side you some day 😀

Now that grafton have finished their part of the recruitment process, can I ask what happens with the psni part? Will all successful candidates have a security check or will that happen in merit order? Is the security check similar to that for a police officer? Thanks in advance

Thank you, and good luck with your promotion!!! ðŸ˜

You will be completely vetted like police officer. It has been over 10years since I filled out my vetting form so not sure how they will contact you but I was sent one out in the post for the Constable recruitment process. Even when inside the Police Service you will be asked to fill out security questionnaires at random times

Is £29K the salary for this role after shift allowance and overtime?

Has anyone any experience of these types of interviews? Are they similar to NICS interviews?

I am an EO2 lol and pay from July will be £24429

Add 20% shift allowance as laid out Shift Disturbance Allowance on NICS pay and reward policy.

24429 x 1.2 = 29,315 (rounded up)

That's not including Sat/sun premiums and overtime. That's the basic pay.

Sat premium is .5 x hourly rate plus standard pay.

Sun is 1 x hourly rate plus standard pay

Over time is 1.33 x hourly rate.

Banterbus28

Hoirly rate is calculated as follows. 24429 ÷ (52.2 x 42) giving £11.14/hr

I don’t know if any of you have been watching the acclaimed BBC series “ambulance” on iPlayer but it gives a brilliant insight into how call handlers/dispatchers/emergency crews operate and I suspect this is nearly/the same transfer over to the police. It’s certainly worth a watch. Dispatching would be a brilliant job. Your literally managing constables and always dealing with the bigger picture. The pay looks good too.. and shift patterns.

I'm not money driven. I will only max money overtime coming up to mortgage application.

I will be more than comfy on basic.

Check it out! Dispatching is clearly the preferential post vs call handling... dispatchers are very much “on the front line” with the crews as they are sent to jobs. I expect that will be the same with the police.

Crews life is in your hands. Hence the good pay.

Good Luck in the interviews folks!!

Im sure il meet some of you’s in the near future!!

As some of you know I was previously successful for CDO. Taking money out of it I think knowing what I know now I would much prefer the dispatcher role.

Congrats to everyone who got good news today. Each role has its highlights, 2 colleagues in my office got the internal interview and one went to CDO and he loves it and the other went to call handling and begged to come back to our office after a week as it wasn’t for her. Taking a “specialised post” you have to 100% committed as they are much harder to transfer out off due to the money invested training people. I have a specialised post and my transfer has been refused twice due to no training courses for people to replace me, usually the only way out is when promotions come around and they have to let you go if you are successful, coming in as an ASO is better as it is easier to transfer around at that grade but the money isn’t as good

I don’t think this is the place to talking about what I do. There are assistant investigators but they are reducing the numbers as it isn’t required any longer.
