I am in the job, been in since April '08.
Application process for Lincs is as follows:
Application form
Fitness test = 5.4 bleep, push/pull of 35
Centrex assesment centre
Medical
Security checks
Training.
Took me 20 months from posting application form to training.
20 weeks training then 10 weeks as tutee with experienced officer.
Then you are out there on your own.
It is a fantastic job. Alot more paperwork and stress than you would think. Everyone joins and says they want to do this or do that, yet most spend a good few years on town learning the job. I love it - never know what the next call will be, or how it will go.
There are some downsides to it too - telling people their relatives are dead, dealing with corpses, picking up body parts, nasty injuries and accidents, loads of horrible jobs. it really can be a thankless job, but the high points make up for it.
Any questions feel free to ask - on shifts so not online all day, but if i can answer, i will.
Thanks..
Do you get paid for the training? you were in it for 20months..
and whats that like?
It took me 20 months from posting initial application to starting my first day of training in classroom. None of which was paid, not even expenses of travelling to or from assessment, medical etc.
training for me was 22 weeks in classroom - very hard, loads of learning - definitions, points to prove, interviewing, arrests, files, etc. 4 exams along the way - multiple choice where all answers are 1 word apart ie could/should/must/will type answers etc.
Then 10 weeks on streets with a tutor watching you, teaching you practicalities, then thats it. On your own responding to jobs.
Pay was 21.5k during training and for the 10 wks. Once signed off as fit for independent patrol it rose to 24.5k or thereabouts.

at the start of ^^ you say 'It took me 20 months from posting initial application to starting my first day of training in classroom. None of which was paid
Then you say 'Pay was 21.5k during training
So... did you get paid for training?

Would you have preferred a "yer maw" insult on a more personal level? A stern letter?
