MET Detective Constable Applicants 2020

Congrats that’s great news!😄 Did they call in the evening?

Omg so late, 8.30pm. I didn’t even answer cos was no caller ID and they didn’t even leave a voicemail. I just got an email few minutes later asking to call as a matter of urgency so called back 😊

Oh wow, congratulations! You must be so relieved, we was only talking about this the other day 😅 when was your screening again? I remember we had the same results for the assessments!

After spending all day talking with you guys about start dates I’ve just had a call!! And am starting 7 June 😃👍🏼

It is a relief just to have some certainty and a flag in the diary (I’ve been furloughed for ten months and now redundant for two so it’s LITERALLY a year since I worked at all 😂)

Yes, my average worked out at 64% for the day one assessment if that helps. My fitness/medical was 7 feb. I completed vetting on 17 March. Hope that helps and hope you all join me soon! 😊👍🏼

I can imagine! Sorry to hear that, I’ve been furloughed too for the past year and cannot wait to start something new 🙌🏼 at least you’ve had your offer now and have it to look forward to, it’s not long now! ah I did mine on the 16th of feb so hopefully not long now. Which BSUs have you been offered?

Unfortunately not, I’ve had a look through the chat portal (no luck). Hopefully someone can shed some more light...

I’ve not noticed anything about that yet - I’ve been told most of the info comes a month before I start (including university info etc) so will probably have to get back to you guys about that. That said, there are like 7 attachments to this email that I’m going to go through tomorrow so will let you know if there’s anything interesting like that or if it’s just boring admin stuff ☺️

See you there!

Oh really!? Yes please do let us all know as I’m curious to find out more and it would be good to be prepared! Thank you and congrats again 😊

It depends on the unit you're in, but in general TDCs do really nuts and unstable hours. On paper it will probably say M-F 0800-1600, but in reality turn out to be something ridiculous like 7on 2off - 9on 3off - 4on 2off and so on. On the plus side, you make loads of money, but it's definitely something for the young person without family responsibility.

Super excited!

Are you a police officer?

Congratulations! You must be relieved to finally get a date.

Congrats!! When did you do your vetting? And also if you don’t mind me asking, what were your day 1 assessment results?

Oh brilliant, I’m starting 7 June. Did you get one of your preferred BCUs? Are they still requiring the Blackstone’s book to be read prior to starting, I know that used to be a thing? Also, how long after the offer did you get the appointment for uniform fitting? I sent the form straight off a couple of weeks ago but not had a reply yet
