Police Now's National Detective Programme 2019

Any mature students applied for this role?

Reason I ask is that I graduated last year so I don't have 2 years post graduation experience however I have 10 years work experience prior, and have travelled and worked abroad, I hold positions on the health and safety committee and as a union convenor for my workplace etc.

They stress that the reason they ask for two years post graduation experience is for "workplace maturity", I feel I'm disqualified by a technicality.

Anyone know if there is a way around other than to wait?

Thanks!

I completed the numerical and verbal reasoning tests on Friday so just waiting now for the outcome! And I’m applying to Staffordshire 😊 just gotta be patient with the waiting around now 😂

My post is in reference to this...

I had an email this morning to say I’ve passed the online tests and to wait for further steps. Anyone else heard back yet? I submitted mine on the 11th.

Me too yay ! “Screening” now, I’m not sure what that involves

Well done! I was wondering about screening too 🤷🏻*♀️

I too had the email this morning and I only completed my tests yesterday! Congratulations everyone getting onto the next stage! I'm about to look up the screening process - if I find anything I'll drop a post here.

@rhianydd @ipear Just had a quick Google around it and I think it means we are between stage two and three. Screening entails our applications being screened by a human being and not a computer, so fingers crossed again! Good luck everyone and congrats!! I'm so happy I've made it this far!

Thanks for letting us know. Fingers crossed we won’t have to wait too long to here back 🤞🏻

No problem. Hopefully not! I'm a bit apprehensive after looking back at my initial application as I have worked consecutively for 4-5 years now alongside my studies but I haven't worked full time (aside summers) as I am a mature student as well. But hopefully they won't be too harsh on that!

Hey! I received that email this morning as well and through to the screening stage!! And in regards to another post about work, I graduated back in 2016 so have 3 years post graduation work experience, as well as working all through my degree. And I’m just completing my masters. So I’m in a bit of a odd situation too but we’ll see what they say, fingers crossed!! 🤞🏻

Hi everyone.

I'm saying my farewells. I had an email today saying they will no longer continue with my application. I think my suspicions about my lack of postgrad work experience (despite working through my degree and beforehand) has gone against me. I'm now looking at other routes so if anyone has suggestions, please do.

Good luck all.

Hi, Has anyone else has any replies as yet? I’ve had silence since last week!
