Hiya,
I was wondering if anyone here had ever attempted, or knows someone who has attempted, to join the police force here in the UK.
I'm about to write a character who was unsuccessful in his attempts to join so if anyone has any experiences of not quite making it, what kind of reasons do they give out, what are the hardest elements of the application, what kind of advice/support do they offer (if any).
Also, for those who made it in, what are the normal procedures for making it in? Written exams? Physical tests? Knowledge of key areas?
I probably won't need anything really specific, but any pointers on this kind of thing I can use to flesh out and give my character some thoughts on the matter would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Rob.
