Police Specials...

[Leanne_vtr]

Hey Guys,

I've got my Initial police specials recruitment test later on today, was just wondering if any of you are specials or Pc's just to tell me a little what it would be like, also any tips from anyone of experiences for applying for police?
Rather nervous to say the least
Any help would be great

Thanks in advance

Will you let me know after Leanne what its about as i was thinking of signing up to the police.

OMG.... it's the fuzz....

*hides CP*

Well done on this, I often think about joining the cops... so bored with my job I want something different everyday.

specials is unpaid iirc? but good way to get in if they are presently not recruiting as you will have much needed experience...

Thanks guys, yeah it is unpaid, got a well paid part time job atm anyway and at college doing Public Services so just what im looking for until I join the regular police

There's no real time span iirc, just when you feel you have the skills the regulars are looking for, but i would say longer than 12 months just to show dedication.

Lol that would prob be because you was in initial training not in the Armed responce/ CID training

Having done the P.I.R.T myself, make sure you read the questions properly, as the wording can be misleading.

The scenario's can often be quite head blagging, as your personal beliefs and opinions and how you interprete them come into play...

But set those aside, re - read end everything you need to answer is there.

Dont spend time getting bogged down on questions if you can help it as you do have a time limit.

Turn up early, have a drink of water and try to relax if youre nervous.

Personally I found it relatively easy especially the mathematics, grammar, date enty and duplication sections, just the scenarios that I found more testing.

Good Luck and I hope you get on well!
