Went to the London afternoon one, really informative, deputy commissioner was present but no police minister. Was really good to chat to serving officers who have made the transition

Good stuff , was there a large attendance.

I know that to be a detective for example, you need to be a citizen, which takes at least 4 years from having PR. So who knows if other specialisms, also have that requirement for access to more sensitive stuff, I guess like how some people here are DV vetted but normal officers aren't? just a thought.

If you’re in a specialist role and want to get back to one as soon as possible reconsider your plans as you may end up very unhappy. If you’re coming for a change of lifestyle and work is secondary, you will be very happy.

Just been to recruitment event . Very interesting , the one thing I think officers need to figure out with a decent length of service would be pension .I've got 20 years in . Has anyone had any financial advice about the UK pension and what would happen to it ? I think up to a certain amount in pension would not make much of a difference

I’m not in the police Pension but I’ve heard a few people with similar service to you pull out due to the fact that your uk police pension scheme is deferred until 67. I think that’s what I read. The couple of people I know who’ve pulled out done so due to having to work an extra 10 years to what they’d planned here.

I dud hear that , I think I'll have to ring up and get advice. Probably why they were saying they were looking for people between 3 to 7 years. No skin in the game so to speak. Easy to dip out of UK to transfer
