I've just joined as a SC as a way to see if I can cut is as a cop and hopefully get in as a regular. Getting past the application stage is the easy bit. Basically, if you have some qualifications and can blab a bit about why you wanna join/why you're good enough etc then chances are you'll get called back to the police initiation recruitment test. If you can count and have a good grasp of the english language and grammar and that then you should pass the PIRT easily and then get called for an interview - that's the first tough bit. The interview is all structured so brush up on the definitions of integrity, resiliance, race and diveristy etc.. you'll need to be able to give examples of how you've handled situations. In the interview keep PC and don't name names. I gained bonus points for talking of a well-known shoplifter but not mentioning their name. Also, if you don't know the answer, don't try blag it as because it's the police, they'd appreciate your honesty of saying "Sorry I cannot answer the question as I've never been in that situation" rather than listen to you try make up a scenario. If you pass the interview then for regulars I think you have to go on to do a physical and medical, but as a SC I skip physical for some reason and medical was just eye-test and medical history. Feel free to PM me bout it all if you want
