Website, Wikipedia, Gov.uk all good places

Firearms assessment is basic handling following instructors prompts, nothing to worry about! If you were told interview questions that would be cheating

It’s a suitability interview, just make sure you know about the Force & why you want to join! Can’t go too far wrong :)

You are all going landside. We have always had the marine unit at Portsmouth but yes recent uplifts landside & on the marine section due to the QE2 and second carrier due

There is no rejoiners process! Devonport doesn’t have any vacancies at current time

You will be asked to give top 3 preferences but no station is guaranteed. Vacancy lists are only agreed prior to each intake so once you are ready you’ll be offered what’s available! Have a read of the website FAQS! Best to direct these questions to the recruitment team :)

Always best to ask Recruitment - we should know the answers

We are waiting for it to be confirmed and to receive a vacancy list! We will be in touch once we know

All I will say is that candidates sign a declaration to say they shouldn’t share information on the process at SEARCH as it completely undermines it. COP website goes through it. You are tested on how you communicate in writing & orally. How you deal with people. Ability to take in & decipher information etc. All about customer service skills :)

You only have to ask the recruitment team if you have queries

Thanks! I’m not applying just interested in what they do as they won’t share their process with me lol

It's from your first day of employment, i.e. First day of training

There are no current plans for NEOFS. If this changes it would be advertised on Facebook and our website. Our NEOF campaigns are usually for general AFOs but sometimes we recruit in to specialisms if there is a requirement. Generally these are filled internally

Hi guys, what did your firearms assessment consist of?

There are reasons why the reasons for vetting failure can't be released unfortunately
