Police Now Detectives Programme 2020

Yeah I wonder what the next stages are because I’m sure last year the process was different to the way it is this year, I’m sure I read they did numeracy tests ect before the assessment we’ve done

Yeah I saw that, they did quite a few things before this stage. As I'm sure online it says after the online asessment you'll do a strength based interview, roleplay, virtual reality and written paper but with the current world situation I can't imagine this will be done at an assessment centre? Especially for participants who are shielding!

Yeah I imagine since they’ve pushed the initial start date back that it gives them more time to think of a solution maybe

I've just completed my online assessment! Felt a bit odd talking to my camera, how did people find out it would be May when we find out?

I completed my online assessment 2 days ago and had a response saying that I’ve passed the online components and that the recruitment team will get into contact with me once the next stage of the recruitment process has been organised (which I assume is the online replacement for the assessment centre that they emailed me about saying that they are looking into online alternatives for this).
However, I didn’t have any video questions, just multiple choice ones - did anyone else not have any video questions?

From what I’ve seen I didn’t think the video assessment was until after the initial online assessments

Wait I’m confused, I thought everyone had the same online assessment (written, video responses), you’d think everyone would follow the same process

I thought the same. I got prepared for video questions and written responses as they sent me information about making sure I had a working camera for the online assessment etc but then once I completed my online assessment which was only multiple choice questions, they emailed me the day I completed it to say that I had completed and passed the online components of the assessment and that they'll be in touch once they've organised an alternative to the Assessment Centre.
I've seen elsewhere that some people didn't have any multiple choice, only written and video and some had more video questions than others - maybe it's different for different forces.

Which force have you applied for?

West Midlands Police

For anyone who has done the online assessment did you all find it took some time to complete. I know the email said it can approximately take around 60 mins but I found it took far longer? Maybe it was just because I analysed every answer I was giving?
