Hello Folks,

Here we are at the beginning of another week. Some waiting for interviews, others waiting for results. I am sure most of us are visiting this forum looking for updates on their fellow applicants progress. My own thoughts are that patience is required. If you think we all applied in May and were told those selected would know in 3 weeks, it took 6 and some still dont know.

Good luck to all and dont forget to keep us all posted.

Yes lils, i agree patience is the order of the day. All things come to those who wait. It's just good to know that several of us are going through the same experience. Without this forum i'd be thinking it was all over long ago.

Look on the bright side, it's far better to go over to Cayman in the winter months and get used to working in the climate while it's a little cooler and not so humid as the summer months.

I couldnt agree more, finding out information is really difficult so this site is a hidden gem. Its also nice to meet new potential colleagues, everyone is a legend!!!

I know we were told that we might hear something this week stenev, im hoping we do, mind you the last 2 weeks for me have flown by.

mbeb

defo with you on the meeting potential new colleagues (and hopefully friends!)

As and when I find out, I will post.........patience is cool but excitement must be creeping in a little NO??

Good luck.

I was just wondering if someone knew what kit your given when you start?

Ive seen officers on sites wearing white shirts etc but also officers that wear polo shirts, do you get issued both?

Also do you get issued Warrant card/badge holder etc?

Just thought i would ask

When i was there it was as follows:

patrol officers got,

white shirts (zip up front) with clip on silver buttons
black trousers
whistle n chain
badge
boots
large black holdall - to keep all your paperwork as you don't get a rack or locker.
rain gear
cap

The USG, MU and K9 Officers also get, as far as i remember.

navy blue polo shirts n combat trousers

The warrant card was a plastic credit card type- no badge or holder.

Steve, i believe Lloyd is still employed as the stores person, so you may possibly get nothing! As the old army saying goes, 'stores are for storing.'

ESTM

Baz,

I think he might be leaving as it is the latest job vacancy on the RCIPS site this week.
