2021 Applicants - Merit List

DUP ruining Christmas then lol.

The good thing is it does seem like the finances are going to be there, I think they’ll give psni a massive budget boost when they do go back

If you don't regret yet, then that's good enough for me.

I can always go back to what I was doing now, if it doesn't suit me in the end anyways.

Thank you

Merry Christmas Lads . 2024 is the year

Is there many of the top 150 that still have not heard anything from vetting?

Hey guys, been following this discussion for a few months now as it's a good source of news to keep the hopes alive. Just replying about the vetting question there, I am <100 on the merit list and I have very recently only just got my vetting back (sent it away in April). Hopefully this helps others and gives you some confidence, not sure if it's a slow process and they have only just got round to mine or if they are now starting to make decent process. Hope this helps

When do people think things will start to move? It’s getting so boring waiting.

Just out of curiosity, will anyone thats not yet appointable be applying to the next student officer campaign as an insurance policy?

I dont think so, think if it doesn't work out this time, it's not for me and I will just get on with it. I know lots of people do but it's alot of effect to get back to where I am already lol

Was anyone on boards when the 2017&18 campaigns were progressing because obviously they would have had no impact on them due to covid and stormont not being open? Did they take as long as this one or were they much faster?

I will cheers

The recruitment graphs on joinpsni updated yesterday, but I don’t think any of the numbers actually changed ?

@psnaye2023 I had a read of previous boards, was very informative - thanks!

Some of the comments were hilarious, and then the admin would periodically give people a telling off🤣🤣.

@NeeNaw21 to your knowledge, under normal circumstances, do the PSNI in accordance with The Patton Report actually get the first squad of student officers in GV within 6 months of applications for the corresponding campaign closing?

I know they obviously don’t follow the report to the finest of details, however, do they aim to follow this aspect of it?

Thank you!

Gardai recruitment open again next week if anyone interested.

I wonder if the updating of the list is the psni getting themselves organised to move things forward, fingers crossed it starts moving very soon. I been keeping an eye on the data for psni numbers and it is dropping approx 30 a month on average. Was 6493 as of the 01/01/2024, come April time it will be nearly 6300 so they can't delay much longer. Out of that 6300 over 550 are off each day sick and there is a number of suspensions etc, going to be a tough road for us that get a position
