View Full Version : Length of Application
Hi
I applied to the Met (London) in August 2002, had my interview on 28th November 2002 and Fitness etc on January 3rd 2002. I'm still waiting for a start day at Hendon Police collage and was wondering if this is a normal amount of time to wait to join the force?

I wouldn't have thought so in these days of mass recruitment in the UK. If I was you I'd ring the Met, perhaps they've lost your file ?

Expect to wait up to and possibly over a year from the time you applied to the time you go to Hendon. And don't bother phoning. They won't tell you how your application is progressing.
It's a pain, but that's how it is.

My wife worked for the Met as a civvy cad operator for 11 years, she left for a while and it still took them 18 months to get her back again, I told her being a Junior Al Queda member wasn't a good career move!
You probably have quite a wait unless you can tell them you are a minority of some sort, that seems to work:mad:
