It's not just the Met. I lived in Preston, Lancashire for quite a few years. I applied for the Lancashire Constabulary on two occasions. I didn't even make the interview stage, this despite being ex army, a personal trainer (so I have experience of dealing with people on a face to face basis), and being more than physically fit enough to do the job. You'll only get in the police these days if you are gay (no I'm not homophobic for arguments sake), an ethnic minority or you have some sort of of physical affliction. The whole selection process is a joke and the police I see these days are woefully out of shape, soft and bovinely stupid. Of course not all police are like this, but these days it's all about sexual orientation, ethnicity and having retail experience. Generally to get into the police force you need to serve as a police special and have a specific qualification. One of the guys on this site's daughters just did that. Did you do that?
Yes, you do. I think you can get special assistance in the course in terms of tutouring (which I don't really agree with, but understand because the police generally want ethnic officers to work in areas of non-white population dense areas). Ironically I turned down a job two years ago with the Police, who wanted to recruit me as a specialist. Out of interest what job were you offered? If you don't mind me asking of course. Undercover apprentice jihadi and toilet assistant to Anjan Chodhury.

If I was fluent in Spanish, Italian, Portuguese or German, I wouldn't be working in England, let alone as a copper. Even with Hebrew I'd probably do one.

If I spoke Hebrew, I'd probably work in Israel, two week bank holiday, get in (plus more bank holidays than any other nation). If I spoke Dutch, I'd probably have got that very well paid job in Holland (in IT for an Amsterdam based bank), which almost certainly would have meant I'd been dead by now. Not sure I'd pay a grand to be a copper.

For your information the complaint was not made by Ghosteagle. Well, that says something for him I suppose...if not for the person who made it.

What public sector job would you do? The private sector is very important obviously and I'm not criticising it here.....but if you were to take five years out of your life to 'give back' so to speak. What area would you choose?

What area would you choose? None, as I spent four years working in the court service. I currently work in Defense (which pays about 50-75% of what I can demand in the Private sector).
