Good louck in applying for the Police.

I work for Staffs and you have to do 2 years probation before you apply for ANY specialist role and to be honest you once you are in you will think 5 years plus is a good time to move on as the more experience you get the better. And normal everyday patrol is the best way to get that experience.

I am trying to get into the Bike Team, decided in 2007 that is what I wanted to do and had an attachment, fell in love and have been waiting for a job to come up ever since, still waiting.

As husky has said, you will find your career path is different once you are in as there are so many roles and divisions. I wanted to be a dog handler, but my heart has moved on now I have seen their role.

Good luck in whatever you choose.
