Gypsum_Fantastic Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 He had the initial application, then the assessment centre where the exams and physical test are. That's how you get into the policehttp://policerecruitment.homeoffice.gov.uk/police-officer/what-happens-after-I-apply/assessment-centre/index.htmlWhen i watched this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coppers_(TV_series) It seemed to imply that you had to pass all of that but also had to go on the beat under the wing of a more senior officer in a kind of placement role and do well in that and the paperwork.

Spoonie Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 I see. I presumed there'd be some kind of probationary period but as far as I understood it, you were employed once you passed those tests Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alkaline Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Ask him which race he hates the most and whyI'm guessing "the whites", nobody likes them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oedo 808 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 If you are black or a woman the Police could be a great career move for you, as you will be promoted twice as fast just to prove how racist and sexist they aren't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

in my house Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 And there is the factor of different forces also. The met, borders, strathclyde. saying that because one is racist they all are would be the same as saying that because a member of an ethnic minority didn't get in to one nightclub, all nightclubs are racist. And i'm not saying for a minute either that The met are racist. Individuals are and the massive amount that are not racist get tarred with the same brush as the perpetrator of an isolated incident.

Individuals are and the massive amount that are not racist get tarred with the same brush as the perpetrator of an isolated incident.Um, I don't want to sound patronising, but surely the Stephen Lawrence case, and the number of other cases clearly indicate that institutionalised racism in the Met is a serious problem? They aren't isolated incidents, there's a pattern. "Individuals are", but there seem to be a significant number of "individuals" with the same mindset in that police force. "The Met are racist" is a base generalisation but it's a statement one could probably make with some level of credibility, sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
