3 stone in a day? I reckon, maybe chop your arms and legs off?

Good Luck

Dave

[Ste]

Good luck!

3 stone in a day won't happen. Easiest way to "loss" lots of weight in a short time is basically to de-hydrate yourself. Probably not a good idea, as if you collapse there they might decide not to let you in.

Hi
Good luck mate, exactly how long ago did you send off you application to join, just wondering how long the process takes.

Good luck mate.

Just take a big dump before they weigh you.

[andrew]

What's a PIR test all about then?

[Ste]

Something to do with how easily you can push people down a set of stair?

[T.C]

Which Force have you applied to join?

Good Luck mate, me father is just retiring form the police after 30+ years!!! Always loved it. You should go for the MOD Plods though. They are armed pretty much all of the time! As for the weight, I lost 3 stone in two month only eating on meal a day, which was chicken and rice! Not too healthy if you go any further than that though!

I've applied for Greater Manchester (second most corrupt force in the country apparently )

The PIR test is a three section test to workout your maths, data transfer, spelling, grammar, and detail remembrance abilities.

You then have an eye test and get weighed and measured afterwards.

I applied at the begining of Jan and a month later I have the first stage to pass - there is a fair bit more to do but the GMP website reckons about three months from application to appointment if successful.

To gain access you must fail all tests and have no common sense.

Greater Manchester, great choice! Do they issue those white pillow cases that you put on your head for free of must you supply them?

[chunkielad]

Think the Pillow cases are free

Just to let everyone know, I passed today but can not progress to the next stage (role play) until I lose some weight. (2stone 3lbs over the limit for my height)

I have been refered to the occupational health unit so they can liposuction some out!!!!

Well done on passing and good luck with the weight loss.

[Will]

[bikerchic17]

Well done on passing!!

if you figure out any good ways of weight loss be sure to let me know!!

[chunkielad]

I already lost a stone for this and to be honest there is no short cut.

You can get liptotropic suppliments but they won't work on their own - eat less of the bad stuff(anything that tasets good like chips, chocolate and crisps!), excercise and drink 1.5-2 litres of water a day.

Darned right it has - there is no obstacle course on the physical anymore and you only have to do level 5/4 on the bleep test where it used to be 8/1.

Previous cnvictions are not as big an issue and financial difficulties are sometimes over looked. Much easier than it ever has been but with so many officers retiring (in line with the large 80's recruitment) they reckon 30% of the force is impending retirement - they need to replace them so standards are lower and wages higher than ever.

That's mental!! Mind you there weren't as many dick heads on the streets then

I believe that if I pass I go to Hendon for two weeks then Bruge for 15 weeks.

Sure you will do fine...Its the Role plays that are a bitch.

Good luck mate!

[chunkielad]

Yeah that's the next stage but I've got years of customer service so it can't be that hard for me - I've been trained by a psychologist to deal with irate customers etc....
