Pretty much it, but where you state Serving Police Officer ADD the experience to it. The Examiner who contracts to POLAIR is not called the "Punisher" for nothinggkoutlis wrote:From what I was told, you need to be a Police Officer (serving) for at least 5 years or have in excess of over 3 to 4 thousand flying hours with numerous ratings NVFR, VFR, CPL, PPL and re-newals - Before you can be considered for the airwing.G
You have to know not only how to fly an aeroplane but also the rules and reg's back to front!
or a CIR aswell as Pressurisation and Turbine ratings, considering they have PC-12'sConstableCare wrote:Pretty much it, but where you state Serving Police Officer ADD the experience to it.

meh, like most things I think it will be forgotten, or at least lessened over the months.cat21 wrote:I'd say they may be looking for new recruits a little earlier if the backlash over the recent trial does hit as hard as some of my friends say it will
Woobla1, can you clarify for me please - is that 12 month delay definite for everyone after they put in the app or is it just them telling you something like it will probably be a year before your'e picked from the pool?woobla1 wrote:Sooo sent off my app today for wapol.
Told about 12 month delay if I get in. Due to economic uncertainty etc and the 're-engagees' that is those that abandoned the coppers chasing the big money coming scurrying back. Also no more pommy recruitments.
Changed times for wapol.
How is everyone's apps going for those still looking at it?
for everybody I have heard. I have 4 mates that applied all 4 got in.bigmancallum wrote:Woobla1, can you clarify for me please - is that 12 month delay definite for everyone after they put in the app or is it just them telling you something like it will probably be a year before your'e picked from the pool?woobla1 wrote:Sooo sent off my app today for wapol.

I don't know why they are making it so hard. Its easier to get into the army, afp, nsw p, qld pol, Vic pol is a little bit easier. Besides there is hardly any physical requirement once you are out of the academy. They tried but about 70% of the force would have failed the fitness testsingkenten wrote:Just if your interested...
If you have applied previously and are now sitting in the pool, before you can be selected for a place you will need to sit an additional aspect to the physical. There is now an agility component that will have to be passed. It is essentially weaving through a set of markers, with your attempt being timed. All new applicants now do the course as part of their physical, the first lot did it yesterday, apparently with few success stories...

That's because they've scrapped the Obstacle course and replaced it with the Agility course right? Any idea why the change?singkenten wrote:One thing I do know for sure is that if you have done a physical in the last six months and are waiting to get a spot in one of the two july classes then you will have to go into the Academy in 3 weeks to complete the agility course before your place is officially offered to you.
