Page 1 of Career Change...(one for the Police on here).

Really p***ed off with the job I am in at the moment. So I think its time to move on. Always wanted to be a Police Officer when I was at school. In fact I applied to get into Hendon but there was a 3-year waiting list. When I did get accepted I was in full time work 21 and was enjoying life, so refused. :/ Trouble is I am now 33. What are the chances of me getting into the Police Force now?

Exactly the same as they were the last time around, plus you`ll be better at it now because you`ve got 12 years of valuable life/workplace experience (i.e dealing with people - which is what the job is). Go for it.

just started with the btp 5 weeks ago. so far it`s been straight-forward and a good laugh.

out of our intake of 12, half are over 35, and 3 are over 40 so i don`t think you need to worry about that as long as your fitness is okay. (and i do mean okay, you really don`t need to be an athlete.)

i`d stay clear of the met at the moment, i doubt they`ll do generic recruitment for a good few years now. you can write them a letter of interest (details are on their site) but i wouldn`t hold your breath. have a look on the main police recruitment site or ring up your local forces and see who`s recruiting at the moment.

good luck.
