Hi all, Back on this forum after a very long time. Just want to let people know that the MET is recruiting PCSOs for 2019-2020, apparently they have 100 open posts, I attended the open day in London and was informed that most boroughs are available. https://www.met.police.uk/car/careers/met/pcso/pcs...

Hey, if we pass paper sift who knows we might be at the assessment centre on the same day... When did you apply and was it for the recent opening for Salford, Trafford?

Surely this is assualt, the PCSO was not pleased!

Thank you for your post Dark Lord, you time frame makes me feel much more at ease... Best of Luck Ben and lets hope we make it for the assessment!

Whilst i am not a PCSO (yet), i have been a Ambulance Attendant with St John and use of Med Gases like Narcan require frequent usage to become proficient and not to mention regular refreshers etc...

Thanks, yes i was looking at the sight but i realised i had missed the november intake. So i have sent off my application form... Lets hope for the best!

Thank you for the advice, it was really helpful and reassuring.

Guys/Gals, I have recently applied to become a PCSO with GMP. Two issues i am worried about: 1. My Wife is a foreign national (been here since may 08 on settlement visa) 2. My younger brother had a run in with the law back when her was 14, very minor but he still ended up in court of the whole thing...

gee... Thanks, i have mustered up the courage to fill in the form again for GMP! Lets hope i am luck this time round! IF not! then back to the 9-5 desk

Guys i have been waiting for an opening to come up in GMP PCSO for almost two years... Any tips would be highly welcome.

Thank you.

I used an old example from school, "respect for diversity" they really liked it. So even though a past experience might seem simple to you it might be crucial to your application, all round i think the more positive your answers the better you score.
