Hi guys.
I have been thinking about a career change for a while now and really would like to work for the police. I'm just in awe and fascinated by them and think they do a very admirable job.
I don't want to be a Bobby on the beat as I'm not confident enough for that!
But.. I have thought about being a 999 handler as it has very good progression prospects.
I've looked into it and the application process is very in depth (as it should be, not complaining) such as not being allowed to apply if you have any debt..?
I find this slightly mad, as don't most people have some kind of debt? The people who would be applying for those roles certainly aren't going to be rolling in it so would most likely have some debts behind them. I thought they'd be glad to get applications given the lack of staff at the moment?
It's putting me off. Is it really that hard to get into? I'd love some advice from anyone in that field.
