2021 Applicants - Merit List

From what I remember it was ex partners you cohabited with or were married to only

I was 2020 campaign and on my vetting it was only current partners or cohabitants no mention of exes and definitely not sexual partners

I think it is 5 years, also if you don't know you don't know lol I was in the same position, emailed vetting and they said to just say what I knew eg. last known address etc, just made sure they knew I really didn't know lol

Yeah I wouldn’t worry about that at all so you’ll not even need to call and enquire cause I’m pretty sure previous jobs only go back 5 years too.. not 100% sure cause I done it so long ago. I just know I 100% didn’t have to put any of that on mine.

Thank you everyone for your help 🙂🙂 Very much appreciated!

Has anyone done their fitness assessment as yet? Had a look online regarding budgets for us not onto managed stages as yet but there isn't too much info

Hi CBA321,

What I meant in terms of budget is whether or not the psni's budget had been increased or cut further this year as a whole as it has a knock on effect with recruitment. In terms of recruitment process, was just curious as to how far the guys that have been brought forward are. I know their vetting forms are now submitted and fitness was recent or due soon but just looking to see how people are getting on. Hope this clears up above post.

Was 80 or 100 mil

Did you guys see this article today with comments from the chief constable. https://www.irishnews.com/news/northernirelandnews/2023/05/04/news/psni_facing_potentially_impossible_financial_situation_warns_chief_constable-3255587/

He says that the budget they currently have a 120 million shortfall in the budget and that even if they cut another 250 jobs in the next year they will still will probably be 80mil short. He says their will be a slow down in recruitment, and that they may have to look at other ways to cut the budget in the future such and a recruitment freeze.

PCA done and dusted 💪🏼 - anyone else complete it yet?

Done and dusted myself, online learning completed and medical date booked in😬😬

Hi everyone

I am currently in GV at the minute, there is some talk from the staff that at the minute there is 2 more intakes (may and june) nothing in july or August and then if the budget allows possibly an intake of the 2021 campaign in September, but this is only rumors nothing is set in stone so do not get your hopes up, just take it one stage at a time the recruitment process is not great especially with budget cuts etc

If anyone has any questions regarding GV or the recruitment stages pm me i am happy to help if i can

I have not started it yet… probably should make a start!!!

Online learnings straight forward, did it in about hour and a half thought it would have been alot more intense

No, I didn't think so. It says 16 hours but it took me about 2-3 🙈
