999/101 police call handler and dispatcher role.

I had my Day 3 (medical) today for the MET CC.

After the medical I was instructed to head over to an assessment center 15 or so minutes down the road (had picture of documents and ID taken) - was unaware of this part, other candidates also unaware as no mention in email or candidate portal. Communication should improve.

Hey everyone! I had my assessment today and passed! Thanks so much for all your advice and help over the past few days!

If there is anyone who has an assessment for a 999/101 Communications Officer, I will be posting some info here on how the day went and what to focus on in your preparation. Also feel free to message me

Hey Mariyam,
Which stage was this assessment at?

I had my Day 3 (medical) today for the MET CC.

hey, I am due to go in for my assessment soon and need help with the typing test. Does it need to be word for word or can i summarise the text? for example this is what i got down from one of the practice tests-

name is morris demonshire, reporting domestic abuse, his wife hit him in the face and gave black eye. Happened 4 times before. Must have been drunk and ran up to house and hit him. Called Selene, dark brunette curly hair, medium built. Come quick before she comes home from buying cigs and booze.

is that okay or would it need to be more detailed?

Thanks

Hello
Yes typing test needs to be word for word. Don’t worry too much about your spelling and grammar as long as you listen and type every single thing down you will be ok.
Good luck
